Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 709/2013

of 24 July 2013

amending Regulation (EU) No 717/2010 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 Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff(1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Regulation (EU) No 717/2010(2) classified a so-called "exhaust gas temperature sensor" under CN code 8533 40 10 as other variable resistors.

(2) The product classified in Regulation (EU) No 717/2010 should be considered a fixed resistor because its resistance is not variable at will, but depends only on the temperature. It is therefore necessary to change the product's classification to CN code 8533 21 00.

(3) Regulation (EU) No 717/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
