The bottom side has a plastic valve towards the end of the extension.\nThe outer surface is made of two parts of textile material coated on the inner side and glued together.\nOn the inside, there is a round cylinder of plastic foam with a cut-out in the middle.\nBy covering the circular hole on the upper side and exerting pressure, the air is transported via the extension and the valve to inflate a specific air mattress.\nThe article is presented as a mini-pump.\n(See photograph A)\n8414 20 80\nClassification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature (GIR) and the wording of CN codes 8414, 8414 20 and 8414 20 80.\nGiven its objective characteristics, the article is a hand-operated air pump, which is operated solely by human effort. Hand-operated pumps which are operated solely by human effort and which are designed to inflate specific air mattresses, fall under subheadings 8414 20 20 and 8414 20 80 (see also the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature (CNEN), subheadings 8414 20 20 and 8414 20 80).\nThe article is therefore to be classified under CN code 8414 20 80 as other hand-operated air pumps.\n2.\nA kidney-shaped article (measuring approximately 35 cm × 17 cm), with a tube-like extension (approximately 25 cm long) which has three valves.\nOn the bottom of the article there is a valve allowing the inflow of air. The upper side has two plastic valves towards the end of the extension, situated side by side.\nThe outer surface is made of two parts of textile material coated on the inner side and glued together.\nOn the inside, there is an oval-shaped piece of plastic foam with a cut-out. This cut-out is fitted with a valve on the bottom.\nBy covering the valve on the bottom side and exerting pressure, the air is transported via the extension and the outermost valve to inflate a specific air mattress.\nThe article is presented as a mini-pump. It can also be used as a pillow as by inserting one of the valves on the extension into the other, the article is prevented from deflating.\n(See photograph B)\n8414 20 80\nClassification is determined by GIR 1, 3(c) and 6 and the wording of CN code 8414, 8414 20 and 8414 20 80.\nOn the one hand, the article is an inflatable pillow and, as such, is camping goods covered by heading 6306 (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 6306 (5)). On the other hand, the article is also a hand-operated air pump operated solely by human effort and designed to inflate a specific air mattress which as such is covered by heading 8414 (see also the CNEN to subheadings 8414 20 20 and 8414 20 80).\nSince neither of the two headings is more specific than the other within the meaning of GIR 3(a) and since the article cannot be classified by reference to GIR 3(b), it shall be classified under the heading which occurs last in numerical order among the two headings (6306 and 8414) which equally merit consideration within the meaning of GIR 3(c).\nThe article is therefore to be classified under CN code 8414 20 80 as other hand-operated air pumps.\nPhotograph A\nPhotograph B",
