Start with construction and function
Describe what the goods consist of, the operation they perform and how they are used within a system. Advertising may list advantages without explaining technical construction. If purpose depends on software configuration or connection to other elements, show this separately.
Compare the documents with the actual shipment
A catalog for a model family does not always describe the configuration imported. Variant identifiers, a component list and available images are needed. Parts merely offered as optional extras in the documents should not automatically be included in the shipment examined.
Distinguish establishing properties from the classification conclusion
Examination questions about composition, function and degree of completion help establish the source data. A classification conclusion requires applying the relevant rules to the established characteristics. Selection by a similar name without checking the object may produce a non-comparable reference.
What to prepare
- Exact model and variant designation of the goods.
- Technical description of construction and function performed.
- Specifications of the actual delivery contents.
- Photographs, diagrams and manufacturer's manual.
- Dispute materials identifying the specific classification question.
What to bear in mind
External similarity and a trade name do not guarantee identical classification. Current rules and heading texts are checked against the established properties of the specific goods.
Outcome of preliminary preparation
Preliminary preparation identifies missing characteristics and the questions that examination must resolve before a substantiated classification discussion.
