(3)

An article (so-called ‘adapter’ or ‘rectifier’) designed to convert AC current (100 — 220 V) into DC current (12 V, 3,7 A); in a plastic housing with dimensions of approximately 14 × 6 × 5 cm.

The article can be connected via a cable with a connector to the AC socket and via another cable with a specific connector to a specific game console of heading 9504 .

8504 40 82

Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3(a) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8504 , 8504 40 and 8504 40 82 .

As heading 8504 covers static converters (for example, rectifiers), that heading provides the most specific description. Consequently, classification under heading 9504 as an accessory to a video game machine is excluded.

The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 8504 40 82 as rectifiers.
