ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN-code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) An article in the form of a sleeve, approximately 20 cm long, made of knitted textile material with thin foam padding on the palm surface. It includes one slightly curved palmar aluminium splint of approximately 2 cm width, which can be manually bent, and two flexible dorsal stabilisers made of plastic of approximately 1 cm width. The splint and the stabilisers go through stitched-on tunnels of a contrasting material which run the entire length of the article and they can be removed. At both ends of the article there are two ‘velcro-type’ straps of 2 cm width to adjust the article to the hand and to the wrist. In the middle of the article there is a wider textile strap of 5 cm width with a ‘velcro-type’ fastening which is wrapped around the wrist to achieve the desired limitation of the movement of the wrist. The textile straps together with the bendable aluminium splint make the movement of the wrist more difficult. The flexibility of the wrist depends on the tightness of the straps. The article is presented as a wrist stabiliser. (See photographs A + B)  ( *1 ) 6307 90 10 Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature (GIR) and by the wording of CN codes 6307 , 6307 90 and 6307 90 10 . The article cannot be adjusted to a specific handicap of a patient, but has a multi-function use. In that respect, the article does not display characteristics which distinguish it by the method of operation or the adjustability to a patient's specific handicaps from ordinary supports for general use (see Note 6 to Chapter 90 and the judgment in Joined Cases C-260/00 to C-263/00, Lohmann GmbH & Co. KG and Medi Bayreuth Weihermüller & Voigtmann GmbH & Co. KG v Oberfinanzdirektion Koblenz , ECLI:EU:C:2002:637). Classification under heading 9021 as an orthopaedic appliance is therefore excluded. The knitted textile material of the sleeve and the strap confers the essential character of the article within the meaning of GIR 3(b), because its presence is predominant in quantity and because of its important role in relation to the use of the article. In particular, the textile strap in the middle of the article is essential for the desired limitation of the movement of the wrist. The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 6307 90 10 as other made-up articles. Photograph A Photograph B ( *1 )   The photographs are purely for information.
