ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN-code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) An article in the form of a shell/inlet of very densely woven, single coloured 100 % cotton fabric, measuring approximately 80 cm × 80 cm. The edges are reinforced with woven piping. There is an opening on one side measuring approximately 25 cm to allow for filling. The shell/inlet is designed to be filled after importation with, for example, feathers and/or down and the opening will be permanently closed, to become a pillow. (See images)  ( *1 ) 6307 90 98 Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature (GIR) and by the wording of CN codes 6307 , 6307 90 and 6307 90 98 . Classification of the article under heading 9404 as articles of bedding and similar furnishing is excluded because the article does not have the essential character of a complete article of heading 9404 within the meaning of GIR 2 (a). It is not yet stuffed or internally fitted with any material. Classification of the article under heading 6302 as bedlinen is excluded, because the article does not have the objective characteristics and properties of bedlinen of heading 6302 which includes articles such as sheets, pillowcases, eiderdown cases and mattress covers. Such articles are designed to cover, for example, a pillow or eiderdown and can be easily removed from them at any time (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 6302 , first paragraph, point (1)). The article does not have the same function or use as bedlinen of heading 6302 ; it is a product of a different nature, as it is to be filled and permanently closed after the filling. The densely woven fabric and the fact that the article is permanently closed ensures that the filling material cannot escape. The filling material cannot be easily removed once the article has been closed. Unlike a pillowcase, the article becomes a part of the pillow. Moreover, the article is not in direct contact with the user, as it will be covered with a pillowcase (the bedlinen itself) before the consumer can use it. Given that the article cannot be classified in a heading that is more specific than heading 6307 , it is therefore to be classified under CN code 6307 90 98 as other made-up article, of textile fabrics.   ( *1 )   The images are purely for information.
