8504 40 90
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8504, 8504 40 and 8504 40 90.
The product is a static converter of the direct current converter type (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to heading 8504, (II), point (D)).
The charger can be used for charging a variety of apparatus, for example, telecommunication apparatus, automatic data-processing machines, audio/video recording or reproducing apparatus and radio navigational aid apparatus.
Classification under CN code 8504 40 30 as static converters of a kind used with telecommunication apparatus, automatic data-processing machines and units thereof is therefore excluded.
The charger is therefore to be classified under CN code 8504 40 90 as other static converters.
