The World Customs Organisation (WCO) on 14 June released the tariff classification decisions taken at the 59th Session of its Harmonised System (HS) Committee meeting held in Brussels in March.
The tariff classification decisions are categorised into three groups, (i) Classification rulings; (ii) Amendments to the explanatory notes (EN); and (iii) Compendium of classification opinions.
Collectively the tariff classification decisions account for 27 new classification opinions and 30 sets of amendments to the HS EN as well as 28 classification rulings dealing with, among other things, arachidonic acid oil; a mixture of pieces of red and green pepper fruits (Capsicum frutescens) filled with cheese (feta cheese and fresh cheese), submerged in a liquid consisting of sunflower oil, garlic and spices; rapid diagnostic test kits for detecting the Zika virus and other diseases transmitted by mosquitoes of the Aedes genus; a medicated bone graft substitute; photoresists, light-sensitive plastic resin solutions used in the photolithographic manufacture of semiconductor materials; table top art easels; laminated textile fabric; an electronic safe made of steel, designed to protect valuables; a palm size washer device operated by a small electric motor, used to remove stains from clothes; unassembled bicycle parts; a virtual reality headset designed to be connected to and used with a specific type of mobile phone; and jump ropes.
