Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 7(c) to Section XI, Note 1 to Chapter 63 and by the wording of CN codes 6307, 6307 10. and 6307 10 10.

Due to the fact that the edges are heat sealed, the article is considered to be made-up. See also the HS Explanatory Notes to Section XI, General, (II), ‘Made up articles’, point 3.
