  "text": "Description of the goods\nClassification(CN code)\nReasons\n(1)\n(2)\n(3)\n1.\nA disc of a diameter of approximately 580 mm and a thickness of approximately 3 mm, consisting of 2 layers made of polyurethane, one of which has machined grooves, whereas the other has an adhesive coating protected by a detachable plastic sheet (so-called ‘polymeric pad’).\nThe article is used with machines for the manufacture of silicon and semiconductor wafers. It is fitted on the carrier head of an interchangeable tool of such machines and is used to planarise/flatten and polish the wafers.\n3919 90 00\nClassification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3919 and 3919 90 00.\nClassification under heading 8486 as a part or an accessory of a machine of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor wafers is excluded, as the article does not have the characteristics to be considered as a part or an accessory of such a machine.\nAs the article constitutes consumable goods, it is to be classified according to its constituent material under CN code 3919 90 00 as a self-adhesive plate or sheet of plastics.\n2.\nA disc of a diameter of approximately 580 mm and a thickness of approximately 2 mm, consisting of 2 layers of synthetic felt, one of them being impregnated with a polymeric binder (polyurethane) (so-called ‘poromeric pad’). The other layer has an adhesive coating protected by a detachable plastic sheet.\nThe article is used with machines for the manufacture of silicon and semiconductor wafers. It is fitted on the carrier head of an interchangeable tool of such machines and is used to planarise/flatten and polish the wafers.\n5911 90 90\nClassification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 7(a) to Section XI, Note 1(e) to Section XVI, Note 7(b) to Chapter 59 and by the wording of CN codes 5911, 5911 90 and 5911 90 90.\nClassification under heading 8486 as a part or an accessory of a machine of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor wafers is excluded as the article does not have the characteristics to be considered as a part or an accessory of such a machine.\nThe product constitutes an article for technical use within the meaning of Note 1(e) to Section XVI, as it is used with machines for the manufacture of silicon and semiconductor wafers to planarise/flatten and polish the wafers.\nIt is therefore to be classified under CN code 5911 90 90 as a textile article (constituent material) used for technical purposes (see Note 7(b) to Chapter 59).",
