Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature (CN), note 2(a) to Chapter 94 and by the wording of CN codes 9403 and 9403 89 00.

The article is used for equipping rooms in, for example, private dwellings. It is therefore a piece of furniture in the sense of heading 9403. According to note 2 (a) to Chapter 94, this heading includes single shelves presented with supports for fixing them to the wall. Classification under heading 7020 as other articles of glass is therefore excluded.

The glass shelf gives the article its essential character. The metal holders, screws and dowels only serve to fix the glass shelf to the wall. Classification under CN code 9403 20 80 as other metal furniture is therefore excluded.

The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 9403 89 00 as other furniture.
