Grass, Registrar, has given a judgment on 16 September 2004, in which it has ruled:
The fact that a flatbed vehicle is equipped with an intricate, versatile and precise tipping function does not exclude its classification as a dumper within the meaning of subheading 8704 10 of the Combined Nomenclature set out in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff, in the versions resulting from Commission Regulations (EC) Nos 3115/94 of 20 December 1994 and 3009/95 of 22 December 1995.
