(2017/C 370/02)

The following text shall be inserted after the existing text:
‘This subheading does not cover so-called “tourniquets”. These generally consist of a strap and a buckle system. They are used, by tightening the strap, to control the blood circulation to an extremity for a short period. Other kinds of tourniquets may have, for example, a rod for tightening. Due to their simple construction and materials used, they are not similar to instruments and appliances covered by the present subheading although they fulfil a medical purpose (generally, classified according to the constituent material of the strap). See in particular the HS Explanatory Note to heading 9018, fourth paragraph.
