    UNIFORM APPLICATION OF THE COMBINED NOMENCLATURE (CN)

    (Classification of goods)

    (2005/C 1/03)

    Explanatory notes adopted in accordance with the procedure defined in Article 10(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1558/2004 (2)

    The ‘Explanatory notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Communities’ (3) shall be amended as follows:

    On page 339 the following text is to be inserted:

    ‘8713

    Carriages for disabled persons, whether or not motorised or otherwise mechanically propelled

    8713 90 00

    Other

    Motorised vehicles specifically designed for disabled persons are distinguishable from vehicles of heading 8703 mainly because they have:

    —

    a maximum speed of 10 km per hour, i.e. a fast walking pace;

    —

    a maximum width of 80 cm;

    —

    2 sets of wheels touching the ground;

    —

    special features to alleviate the disability (for example, footrests for stabilising the legs).

    Such vehicles may have:

    —

    an additional set of wheels (anti-tips);

    —

    steering and other controls (for example, a joystick) that are easy to manipulate; such controls are usually attached to one of the armrests; they are never in the form of a separate, adjustable steering column.

    This subheading includes electrically-driven vehicles similar to wheelchairs which are only for the transport of disabled people. They can have the following appearance:

    However, motor-driven scooters (mobility scooters) fitted with a separate, adjustable steering column are excluded from this subheading. They can have the following appearance and are classified in heading 8703:
