            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1758
      of 28 September 2016
      concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
      THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Articles 57(4) and 58(2) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (2), it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

                  (2)

                  Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific provisions of the Union, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.

                  (3)

                  Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex 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 issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 34(9) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013. That period should be set at three months.

                  (5)

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

            HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
      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 which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 34(9) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
      Article 3
      This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of 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.
         Done at Brussels, 28 September 2016.

               For the Commission,

               On behalf of the President,

            Stephen QUEST

               Director-General for Taxation and Customs Union

         (1)  OJ L 269, 10.10.2013, p. 1.

         (2)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1).

         ANNEX

                     Description of the goods

                     Classification
                     (CN-code)

                     Reasons

                     (1)

                     (2)

                     (3)

                     An article (so-called ‘memory card game’) comprising 20 square cards, made of cardboard and measuring approximately 60 × 60 mm. All cards have the same design/image on the reverse and various images on the face. Every card contains an image that can be paired with another card (couples contain the same image on the face).
                     This card game is suitable for two to four players.
                     See image (*).

                     9504 40 00

                     Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 9504  and 9504 40 00 .
                     CN code 9504 40 00  covers card games of all kinds. The form of the cards and the way they are used (held in the hand and/or placed on the table) is not relevant (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading to 9504 , point (11)). Classification under CN code 9504 90 80  as other games is therefore excluded.
                     Consequently, the product is to be classified under CN code 9504 40 00  as playing cards.

            (*)  The image is purely for information.
