Amendments to the Compendium of Classification Opinions
The following list contains the decisions taken by the Harmonized System Committee
(41st Session – March 2008) concerning amendments to the Harmonized System
Compendium of Classification Opinions. This publication will be updated regularly.
The Harmonized System Compendium of Classification Opinions is published by WCO
and consists of a numerical list, set out in the order of headings and subheadings of the
Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, of the Classification Opinions
adopted by WCO. Within any Harmonized System heading or subheading the
Classification Opinions are listed in chronological order. The Compendium is available
as a bilingual publication in English and French, the two official languages of the WCO,
and can be ordered directly (see “Bookshop” on this Web site).
The amendments listed below are reproduced in the order of the current pages
concerned and will be incorporated into the aforementioned WCO publication in due
time by replacing the pages affected by the amendments made.
Advice
Parties seeking to import or export merchandise covered by a decision are advised to
verify the implementation of the decision by the importing or exporting country, as the
case may be.

Insert the following Classification Opinions :
“3907.20
3.
Pegfilgrastim (INN) (N-(3-hydroxypropyl)methionylcolony-stimulating factor
(human), 1-ether with á-methyl-ù-hydroxypoly(oxyethylene)), a form of
filgrastim (INN) (a human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)) of
sustained duration, produced by a covalent attachment of a single 20 kDa
poly(ethylene glycol) molecule to the amino-terminal methionine residue of
the filgrastim polypeptide chain by a reaction called reductive amination.
Pegfilgrastim, like filgrastim, belongs to a class of substances which
regulates the proliferation and maturation of neutrophils in the bone marrow,
helping so to re-establish the body’s effective defence system against
bacterial infections in cases of neutropenia.
Application of GIRs 1 and 6.”
Page XI/6 E.
Insert the following Classification Opinion :
“6110.30
1. Knitted soccer goalkeeper jersey (100 % polyester), reaching down
below the waist, with long raglan sleeves and a close-fitting round neckline
without an opening. The garment has minimally protective elbow pads
sewn on the sleeves and applied ribbing at the sleeve ends. The bottom of
the garment is hemmed.
Application of GIRs 1 and 6.

Insert the following Classification Opinion :
“6211.33
1.
“Paintball pants” (trousers), designed to be worn during paintballing,
primarily of a shell of woven fabric (70 % polyester and 30 % nylon) with
water resistant coating which cannot be seen by the naked eye and some
knit mesh fabric in the groin and inner thigh areas, having a rubber back
grip to keep the waist harness in place, a fiber joint above the knee to allow
the trousers to stretch for easier movement, vents, front zipper closure with
protective flap (left over right), adjustable attached belt, side slash pockets
and leg patch pockets. There is some textile padding in the groin and knee
areas to provide protection from ground abrasions and paintballs.
Application of GIRs 1 and 6 (Note 8 to Chapter 62 and Note 1 to
Chapter 54).

"8504.40
2. Power module containing 6 transistors, 6 diodes and 4 integrated circuits, in
addition to 3 resistors and other passive components, including a thermistor.
All the foregoing are manufactured through separate processes, and are
mounted on a copper lead frame, bound by wire and molded by plastic resin.
The subject module performs switching of current in order to provide current to
three-phase electric motors. Specific applications include, but are not limited
to, consumer appliances such as washing machines and air conditioning units.

3. Power module containing 6 transistors, 6 diodes and 4 integrated circuits, in
addition to other passive components but not containing resistors or
thermistors. All the foregoing are manufactured through separate processes,
and are mounted on a copper lead frame, bound by wire and molded by plastic

4. Power module containing (i) a metal oxide semiconductor field effect
transistor and (ii) a monolithic integrated circuit which controls and protects the
transistor. The foregoing are manufactured by separate processes, and are
mounted on a copper lead frame, either vertically or horizontally, which are
bound by wire and molded by plastic resin. The subject module switches
electrical currents from the primary side to the secondary side of the forward
converter of a switching mode power supply. Specific applications include, but
are not limited to, battery chargers and adapters, mobile phones, personal
digital assistants (PDAs), apparatus incorporating solid-state non-volatile
storage devices (such as “MP3 players”), monitors and automatic data
processing machines.
Application of GIRs 1 and 6.
5. Power module containing (i) a metal oxide semiconductor field effect
transistor and (ii) a monolithic integrated circuit which controls and protects the
transistor. The foregoing are manufactured by separate processes, and are
mounted on a copper lead frame, horizontally, which are bound by wire and
molded by plastic resin. The subject module serves as a linear regulator,
which maintains or regulates an output voltage based on the input reference
voltage. Specific applications include, but are not limited to, battery chargers
and adapters, mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), apparatus
incorporating solid-state non-volatile storage devices (such as “MP3 players”),
monitors and automatic data processing machines.
