A cable, approximately 250 cm in length, of a kind used solely with a video game machine of heading 9504 .

The cable is fitted with one specifically designed connector for the video game machine at one end and five connectors for connection to a monitor or a television set at the other end.

Data can be transferred from the video game machine to the monitor or the television set via the cable and the data may, depending on the content, be visualised as a video game, video or still image or reproduced as sound.

8544 42 90

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN code 8544 , 8544 42 and 8544 42 90 .

Classification under heading 9504 as an accessory of a video game machine is excluded, as heading 8544 provides the most specific description referring to cables and other electric conductors.

The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 8544 42 90 as an electric conductor fitted with connectors.
