| An article consisting of three flexible tubes joined together with a Y-shaped connection piece. Each of the tubes has a Luer connector at the end. The article has a total length of approximately 16 cm and the diameter of the tubes is approximately 4 mm. The article is made of various plastics such as polyvinyl chloride and acrylic polymer. The Luer connector is used to connect the article to other tubes and/or devices (for example syringes) in a manner which prevents leakage. The article is used in various fields such as medical environment, laboratory work, research and other environments where a connection which prevents leaking is required. See imagea. | 3917 33 00 | Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 8 to Chapter 39 and by the wording of CN codes 3917 and 3917 33 00. Upon presentation to customs the article is not identifiable as part of a medical instrument within the meaning of note 2 to Chapter 90. Consequently, classification under heading 9018 is excluded. Given its objective characteristics and properties, the article meets the terms of heading 3917 and fulfils the requirements of Note 8 to Chapter 39. It is therefore to be classified under CN code 3917 33 00 as other tubes, not reinforced or otherwise combined with other materials, with fittings. |
