Open ↗ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN-code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) An article comprising electronic components; a starter, an actuator, a regulator and a stop unit (so-called ‘electronic control unit (ECU)’) contained in a rectangular housing of aluminium with measurements of 98 × 74 × 20 mm and a weight of 160 g. The article supplies power to the xenon headlights of motor vehicles. When the headlights are turned on the article firstly converts direct current (DC) 12 V from the on-board electrical system into 1 200 V DC and transmits it to the igniter (not present upon presentation). Secondly, the article converts the DC into alternating current (AC) to light the lamps and continuously generates the voltage required (85 V) to keep the lights burning sufficiently. See image ( *1 ) . 8504 40 90 Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3 (c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8504 , 8504 40 and 8504 40 90 . Classification as a control unit under heading 8537 is excluded, since the article is designed to convert current from DC 12 V into DC 1 200 V and to convert DC 12 V into AC 85 V, which are functions covered by heading 8504 . As neither of the functions is considered to be the principal function of the apparatus within the meaning of note 3 to section XVI, it is to be classified under the subheading that occurs last in numerical order. The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 8504 40 90 as other static converters. ( *1 ) The image is purely for information.
