ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) An insulated cable (so-called ‘USB cable’) with a length of 1 m which consists of insulated twisted wires and is fitted with USB connectors at both ends. The cable makes it possible to transfer data between different types of apparatus. It also makes it possible to supply electrical power to those apparatus or to charge them. 8544 42 90 Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8544 , 8544 42 and 8544 42 90 . Data transfer between two apparatuses where no telecommunication technology, such as Ethernet, is used is not considered telecommunication for the purpose of subheading 8544 42 10 . Consequently, classification under subheading 8544 42 10 as a cable fitted with connectors of a kind used for telecommunications is excluded (see also the CN Explanatory Notes to subheading 8544 42 10 ). The cable is therefore to be classified under CN code 8544 42 90 as other electric conductors for a voltage not exceeding 1 000 V fitted with connectors.
