ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) A flexible tube made of polyamide with a transparent tail end, reinforced inside with a fine wire braiding which is an integral part of the tube. The tube is 125,5 cm long and has an outside diameter of 2,8 mm. The tube is not sterilised upon presentation. It is presented uncoiled, in a double packaging. The tube is intended to be used by medical professionals to insert a ‘stent’ into the human body. The tube is not left in the body after use. 3917 39 00 Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 8 to Chapter 39 and by the wording of CN codes 3917 and 3917 39 00 . Given its objective characteristics and properties, the goods meet the terms of heading 3917 and fulfil the requirements of Note 8 to Chapter 39. The intended use of the tube is not inherent to its objective characteristics as, upon presentation, the tube cannot be identified as an instrument or appliance used in medical sciences. Consequently, classification under heading 9018 is excluded. It is therefore to be classified under CN code 3917 39 00 as other tubes of plastics.
