1.Glove of knitted cotton fabric, the outer surface of which is covered by dipping in natural rubber (latex).

This glove is for domestic use. (See photograph No 602)1

6116 10 20

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2(a) to Chapter 40, Note 7 to Section XI, Note 4(a) to Chapter 59, Note 1 to Chapter 61 and the wording of CN codes 6116, 6116 10. and 6116 10 20.

See also the HS Explanatory Notes to Headings 4015 and 6116.

Taking into account that the weight of the coated fabric from which the glove is made does not exceed 1500 g/m2, this glove should be classified as a knitted glove under the heading 6116.

2.Made up textile article: sun shield in the shape of a stylised cat's head with rounded corners, measuring approximately 44 cm × 39 cm.

The product is made up of transparent knitted closed weave fabric printed with a cat motif, stretched around and stitched into a flexible wire frame. In the middle of the fabric there is a plastic suction pad by means of which the shield can be attached to a windowpane.

6307 90 10

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, F1note 7(f) to Section XI, Note 1 to Chapter 63 and the wording of CN codes 6307, 6307 90. and 6307 90 10.

The product cannot be classified under heading No 8708, ‘parts and accessories of motor vehicles’, as its shape covers only one particular section of a window and it is therefore not suitable for use solely or principally with the articles of Chapters 86, 87 or 88.

It does not fall within heading Nos 6303 and 6304 as it is neither an interior blind nor an interior fitting.

The photographs are purely for information.
