The set is composed of: | 3006 40 00 | Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3 (b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 4 (f) to Chapter 30 and the wording of CN codes 3006 and 3006 40 00 . Classification under heading 9021 is excluded, as the product is not a prefabricated product (such as a crown) that resemble in appearance any defective part of the body (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Note to heading 9021 , Section III, first paragraph and Part (B), point (4) and the first sentence of the second subparagraph). The composite materials filled in syringes are the components that give the set its essential character. They can be used in dentistry as dental fillings, which are covered by heading 3006 (note 4 (f) to Chapter 30, see also the above mentioned Harmonized System Explanatory Note to heading 9021 , Section III, Part (B), second subparagraph, first sentence). Classification under heading 3824 and under heading 3906 is excluded as the product is more specifically covered by the wording of Note 4 (f) to Chapter 30, as a dental filling. Consequently, the product is to be classified in CN code 3006 40 00 as other dental fillings. |
