ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) Disposable non-woven paper wipes (approximately 3 cm × 6 cm each), individually wrapped and put up for retail sale in boxes holding 100 wipes. The wipes are impregnated with an alcoholic solution consisting of 70 % isopropyl alcohol and 30 % water. The product is presented to be used for general disinfection of the skin and of other surfaces (such as those of non-invasive medical instruments). 3808 94 90 Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 3808, 3808 94 and 3808 94 90. Classification under heading 3005 is excluded as the wipes are not used for any specific medical, surgical, dental or veterinary purpose (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Note to heading 3005, first paragraph). Classification under heading 3402 is excluded as the main purpose of the product is not cleaning but disinfection. The product is considered a disinfectant and is put up for retail sale as a disinfectant (see note 2 to Section VI). Consequently, the product is to be classified in CN code 3808 94 90 as a disinfectant, put up for retail sale.
