The tiles have an interlocking connecting system based on the principle of puzzles, which are laid firmly on another surface and thus form a mat.\nThe article is designed to absorb shocks generated during various sportive activities (for example yoga, gymnastics, or martial arts) through the cellular structure of the mat to protect the body. The ‘tatami puzzle mat’ is also designed as an insulator of noise, heat, and moisture. It serves thus as a protection against damage of the surface underneath and to protect people performing various other activities, for example, when used by nurseries or artists.\nSee image\n3918 90 00\nClassification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3918 and 3918 90 00.\nClassification under heading 9506 as articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics, athletics, other sports or outdoor games is excluded as the unassembled plastic floor covering is not solely for sports but also for the protection of surfaces and to protect people performing other activities.\nAccordingly, the article is to be classified according to its constituent material (plastics).\nIt is therefore to be classified as floor coverings of plastics under CN code 3918 90 00.",
