  "text": "The image is purely for information.\nDescription of the goods\nClassification(CN code)\nReasons\n(1)\n(2)\n(3)\nA device (so-called ‘wireless charging plate’) consisting of an adapter with a cable of a length of approximately 180 cm and a charging plate. The cable has a connector to connect to the charging plate. The plate is circular shaped with a height of approximately 8 mm, a diameter of approximately 80 mm and a weight of 51 g.\nThe adapter converts (rectifies) alternating current (AC — 240V) into direct current (DC — 12V) and transfers this to the plate. In the plate this DC is converted (inverted) into AC and then that AC is converted into an electromagnetic field.\nThe device is designed to charge apparatus wirelessly. Both the plate and the apparatus being charged are equipped with ‘Qi’ technology, which is the standard for the wireless charging of apparatus. Wireless charging is performed via an electromagnetic field.\nSee image\n8504 40 90\nClassification is determined by general rules (GIR) 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8504, 8504 40 and 8504 40 90.\nThe functions of the device (current rectifying, inverting, and converting into an electromagnetic field) are covered by subheading 8504 40. Classification under subheading 8504 50 is thus excluded.\nClassification under CN code 8504 40 30 as static converters of a kind used with telecommunication apparatus, automatic data-processing machines and units thereof is excluded as the AC/DC adapter is designed to provide current to a variety of electrical apparatus.\nAs neither current rectifying, inversion nor conversion into an electromagnetic field gives the device its essential character it has to be classified applying GIR 3(c).\nConsequently, the device is to be classified under CN code 8504 40 90 as other static converters.",
