  "text": "Description of the goods\nClassification(CN code)\nReasons\n(1)\n(2)\n(3)\nA product consisting of a plastic collar shaped to fit the neck with a shock-absorbing foam layer and hook-and-loop fasteners (so-called \"cervical collar\").\nIt is used to support the cervical portion of a person's spinal cord (neck) and head, for example, when rescuing and transporting patients with suspected or known spinal injuries, or for supporting the neck of a person who has suffered an injury such as whiplash.\n9021 10 10\nClassification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 6 to Chapter 90 and by the wording of CN codes 9021, 9021 10 and 9021 10 10.\nThe collar is considered to be an appliance for supporting or holding parts of the body following an illness, operation or injury within the meaning of Note 6 to Chapter 90.\nThe product cannot be considered to be a splint or other fracture appliance as it is not used to immobilise part of the body following a fracture. Classification under CN code 9021 10 90 is therefore excluded.\nThe product is therefore to be classified under CN code 9021 10 10 as an orthopaedic appliance.",
