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.
