Description Classification (CN code)
Reasons

1. A steel ball coated with silicon rubber and meeting the following specifications:
— shore hardness (A type) of 70 ± 5,
— raised molding parting line not exceeding 0,05 mm,
— diameter not exceeding 22 mm, and
— total weight of 31 grams (± 1 gram)
designed for use in the manufacture of a pointing device (so called ‘computer mouse’). — shore hardness (A type) of 70 ± 5,
— raised molding parting line not exceeding 0,05 mm,
— diameter not exceeding 22 mm, and
— total weight of 31 grams (± 1 gram)
designed for use in the manufacture of a pointing device (so called ‘computer mouse’).
8473 30 90
Classification is determined by the provisions of General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature, Note 2 b) to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8473, 8473 30 and 8473 30 90.
2. A magnetic floppy disk on which an analogue (waveform) signal has been recorded during manufacture, solely for the purpose of checking the quality of the disk's magnetic coating. 8523 20 90
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 8523, 8523 20 and 8523 20 90.
As the analogue signal in question cannot serve any purpose after manufacture, such a signal cannot be considered as a recording within the meaning of heading 8524.
3. A junction box for use in cable television systems, comprising a metal box (approximate size 10 × 10 × 7 cm) fitted with cable inputs and terminals. The box contains an electric circuit with a number of electric components (such as coils, transformers, resistors and capacitors) and connections.
The function of the junction box is to reduce the signal voltage fed through the cable to the television receivers and, by means of a filter, to prevent the supply voltage for the amplifiers from reaching the television receivers. The function of the junction box is to reduce the signal voltage fed through the cable to the television receivers and, by means of a filter, to prevent the supply voltage for the amplifiers from reaching the television receivers.
8543 80 80
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 8543, 8543 80 and 8543 80 80.
The junction box in design and function is not an apparatus for making connections to or in electrical circuits within the meaning of heading 8536. Although used as a part for television systems, it is an appliance having an individual function.
