ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) Rectangular article (‘cooling mat’) measuring approximately 50 cm × 40 cm × 1 cm or 90 cm × 50 cm × 1 cm, consisting of: a soft plate of cellular plastic foam of polyurethane impregnated with a gel consisting of water and 1,6 % by weight of carboxymethylcellulose. The cooling mat is covered with a waterproof textile fabric of synthetic fibres (polyester), and is coated with plastics on the inside. The cooling mat has a cooling effect on e.g. an animal lying down on it, due to the gel. The cooling mat is put up for retail sale and presented to be used for dogs or cats but can also be used by humans. (See image) ( *1 ) 3926 90 97 Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 3926 , 3926 90 and 3926 90 97 . Classification under heading 9404 as articles of bedding and similar furnishing is excluded, because the cooling mat is mainly intended to provide a cooling effect. Thus, its function is not comparable to that of articles of bedding and similar furnishing of heading 9404 . The cooling mat is a composite article within the meaning of general rule 3(b) for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, consisting of a cover of textile fabric, a plate of cellular plastic foam and gel containing carboxymethylcellulose. The gel gives the product its essential character; the plate of cellular plastic foam only has a carrier function, while the waterproof textile merely serves as a cover (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 3926 , point (9)). The mat containing the gel is an article of materials of heading 3912 . The cooling mat is therefore to be classified under CN code 3926 90 97 as other article of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914 . ( *1 ) The image is purely for information.
