    (2)

    Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature.

    (3)

    Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column 1 of the table set out in the Annex to this Regulation should be classified under the CN code indicated in column 2, by virtue of the reasons set out in column 3 of that table.

    (4)

    It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information which has been issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature but which is not in accordance with this Regulation can, for a period of three months, continue to be invoked by the holder, under Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (2).

    (5)

    The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

    Article 1

    The goods described in column 1 of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column 2 of that table.

    Article 2

    Binding tariff information issued by the customs authorities of Member States, which is not in accordance with this Regulation, can continue to be invoked for a period of three months under Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92.

    Article 3

    This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

    This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

    Member of the Commission

    (1)   OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 711/2006 (OJ L 124, 11.5.2006, p. 1).

    (2)   OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 648/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 117, 4.5.2005, p. 13).

    ANNEX

    Description of the goods

    Classification (CN code)

    Reasons

    (1)

    (2)

    (3)

    A security device designed to gain access to records stored on an automatic data-processing (ADP) machine.

    It consists of a liquid crystal display (LCD), a printed circuit assembly and a battery encased in a plastic case which can be put on a key-ring.

    The device generates a sequence of six digit numbers, being specific to a particular user, and allows the user access to the records stored on an ADP machine.

    The device cannot be connected to an ADP machine and functions independently of such a machine.

    8543 89 97

    Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8543 , 8543 89 . and 8543 89 97 .

    The device is not classifiable under heading 8470 because it has no manual arrangements for data input nor has it a calculating function in the context of this heading (see HS Explanatory Notes to this heading).

    It is not classifiable under heading 8471 , because it is not freely programmable in accordance with the requirements of the user (see Note 5(A)(a)(2) to Chapter 84), nor is it a unit of an automatic data-processing machine because it is not connectable to the central processing unit (see Note 5(B)(b) to Chapter 84).

    The device is classifiable under heading 8543 because it is an electrical apparatus with an individual function not specified or included elsewhere.
