Description of goods Classification CN code
Reason

(3)
1. An ornamental article (luminous fountain or ‘running tap’), put up unassembled in a packing for retail sale. Assembled, the various plastic components (a base about 15 cm diameter, incorporating a lighting system and an electric motor with a power-supply cable, and equipped with a switch, three basins, various pipe connections, a tap, a small figure of a dancer, artificial flowers and foliage, etc.) form one or other of the articles depicted (1) (height between 30 cm and 40 cm) 3926 40 00
Classification is determined by the provisions of General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3926 and 3926 40 00
2. Slippers consisting of a textile upper and an outer sole of plastic (approximately one centimetre thick), the outside of which is entirely covered by a very thin layer of textile material, with poor wearing properties, stuck along the edges 6404 19 10
Classification is determined by the provisions of General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature, note 4 (b) to Chapter 64 and by the wording of CN codes 6404, 6404 19 and 6404 19 10
3. An automated cartridge system in a casing consisting, essentially, of:
(a) one or more library storage modules (each containing cartridge storage cells and a microprocessor controlled robot and having one or more attached cartridge drive frames and control units); and
(b) a library management unit with integral software (which acts as the link between the library storage modules and one or more central processing units).
This system is specifically designed for the automatic loading, processing, storage and unloading of magnetic tape cartridges for automatic data processing purposes (a) one or more library storage modules (each containing cartridge storage cells and a microprocessor controlled robot and having one or more attached cartridge drive frames and control units); and
(b) a library management unit with integral software (which acts as the link between the library storage modules and one or more central processing units).

4. An adapter card for incorporation in cable linked digital automatic data-processing (ADP) machines enabling the exchange of data over a local area network (LAN) without using a modem.
With such a card, an ADP-machine can be used as an input-output device for another machine or a central processing unit.
The card constitutes a printed circuit of a size of about 10 x 21 cm incorporating integrated circuits and active and passive components.
It is fitted with a row of pin contacts corresponding to an expansion slot in the ADP-machine, with an attachment to the connection cable of the LAN and light emitting diodes (LEDs) With such a card, an ADP-machine can be used as an input-output device for another machine or a central processing unit.

5. A miniature electro-acoustic receiver (earphone) in a housing whose exterior dimensions do not exceed 7 x 7x5 mm.
The receiver comprises a magnet, a coil and a diaphragm to recieve electrical signals which cause the diaphragm to vibrate thus producing audible sound.
The receiver may be used together with an amplifier as a hearing aid The receiver comprises a magnet, a coil and a diaphragm to recieve electrical signals which cause the diaphragm to vibrate thus producing audible sound.

6. A laser copier comprising mainly a device for scanning (scanner), a digital image processing device and a printing device (laser printer), contained in a housing.
The scanning device uses an optical system, consisting of a lamp, mirrors, lenses and photocells to scan the original image line by line.
The copies are produced electrostatically via a drum on the laser printer using the indirect process. The laser copier has several additional features for altering the original image, e.g. reduction, enlargement, shading The scanning device uses an optical system, consisting of a lamp, mirrors, lenses and photocells to scan the original image line by line.
