ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) An article (so-called βguy grip dead endβ) made of 6 wires, each having a thickness of 3,25 mm. The wires are of galvanised cold drawn carbon steel. The wires run parallel to each other and are covered by a zinc coating. They are loosely twisted throughout their length and are bent to form a βUβ shape. After presentation, the article is used as βguyingβ for wooden telegraph poles i.e. the wire is closely twisted together to become stranded wire. (See images) Β ( *1 ) 7326Β 20Β 00 Classification is determined by general rules 1 andΒ 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 7326 and 7326Β 20Β 00 . Classification under heading 7312 as stranded wire, ropes, cables, plaited bands, slings and the like is excluded because the article is not closely twisted (see also Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 7312 , first paragraph and the Explanatory notes to the Combined Nomenclature to subheadings 7312Β 10Β 61 to 7312Β 10Β 69 ). It only becomes closely twisted when mounted on the telegraph pole. The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 7326Β 20Β 00 as other articles of iron and steel wire.
