Open ↗ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN-code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) Rods of tungsten alloy, containing more than 94 % by weight of tungsten and 1,5 % by weight of lanthanum, with a length of 150 mm and a diameter of 3 mm. The rods are not obtained only by sintering, they have no coating and are not cored with flux material. They are blunt at their ends (i.e. without pointed tips) and they are individually marked by color. The color marking indicates the alloying element and tungsten content. The rods are packed in batches. The rods are designed to be sharpened and used as welding electrodes for TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. The purpose of the electrode during this welding process is to form the arc between the electrode and the workpiece. The electrode does not melt during the process; i.e. it is non-consumable. 8101 99 10 Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 3 and note 5 (a) to Section XV, note 1 (d) to Chapter 74, subheading note 1 to Chapter 81 and by the wording of CN codes 8101 , 8101 99 and 8101 99 10 . The rods need to undergo a special tip grinding process in order to obtain the shape of the tip required to become electrodes properly usable for TIG welding. Therefore, upon presentation to customs, the objective characteristics of the article are not those of welding electrodes for welding machines of heading 8515 . Consequently, classification as parts of machines or apparatus for arc welding of metals of heading 8515 is excluded. Given its objective characteristics and properties, the article corresponds to the wording of heading 8101 , which includes tungsten (wolfram) and articles thereof. (See also the first paragraph of the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 8101 , which indicates that tungsten (wolfram) in the form of rolled or drawn bars falls in this heading. That provision is also in line with the first paragraph of the HSEN to heading 8311 , according to which electrodes of base metal not coated or cored with flux material are excluded from heading 8311 and are to be classified in the appropriate Chapters according to their constituent material.) The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 8101 99 10 as bars and rods, other than those obtained simply by sintering, of tungsten.
