ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) A product made of plastics with several small openings. It constitutes an insulating body of a connector. It does not contain metal contacts, terminals or any other conductive materials. The product is intended to isolate and hold in place electric wires with connections (terminals) or contact elements at the ends. The wires are to be inserted into the holes of the body of the connector. The product protects and isolates the conductive contacts from each other, preventing a short circuit, and from the external environment, to prevent the ingress of, for example, dirt. ( *1 ) See image. 8547 20 00 Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2(a) to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8547 and 8547 20 00 . The product is wholly made of non-conductive material and is designed for insulating purposes; it is an insulating fitting of plastics (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to heading 8547 , point (A), first paragraph). Classification under heading 8538 as parts suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of heading 8535 , 8536 or 8537 is excluded, as the product is included in heading 8547 and is therefore to be classified in its respective heading in accordance with Note 2(a) to Section XVI. It is therefore to be classified under CN code 8547 20 00 as insulating fittings of plastics. ( *1 ) The image is purely for information.
