Explanatory notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union
(2019/C 157/04)
Pursuant to Article 9(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1), the Explanatory notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union (2) are hereby amended as follows:
On page 211, the following Explanatory notes to subheadings ‘4202 91 to 4202 99 Other’ are inserted:

‘4202 91 to 4202 99 |
Other These subheadings include so-called “writing cases” (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 4202, paragraph 4, which includes “writing-cases” as an example of “similar containers” covered by the second part of heading 4202). Writing cases are typically reinforced and designed for prolonged use. They usually have one or more pockets and loops to hold a notepad, papers, writing instruments and supplies etc. Writing cases may be closed with a zip all round or by means of an elastic band, a closing buckle or a flap with a snap fastener. The presence and type of a closing device is however not a decisive criterion for classification of writing cases under heading 4202. Writing cases without a closing device are also to be classified under this heading. Examples of writing cases of subheadings 4202 91 to 4202 99 are shown below:
