EU Customs classifications for postural correction clothing
Customs heading « 9021 », orthopaedic articles and apparatus, including belts, medical bandages and crutches, concern many various devices intended, inter alia, to re-educate certain parts of the body.
To date, articles falling within this customs heading are not subject to customs duties on imports into the Community. As a result, clothing intended to support and straighten the back has certainly been classified in heading 9021.
It should be noted that the European Commission, through its communication via the classification notice procedure, denounces these previous rankings, relying mainly on the « Explanation of the Harmonized System 1.b of Chapter 90 »which provides the following information: « This chapter does not include belts and bandages of textile materials whose intended effect on the organ to be supported or maintained is solely based on elasticity (e.g. pregnancy belts, chest bandages, abdominal bandages, bandages for joints or muscles) falling within section XI ».
In these circumstances, the classification notice issued by the Commission classifies this type of product according to heading 6212 « bras, sheaths, corsets, bras, suspenders, garters and similar articles and parts thereof, whether or not knitted or crocheted »subject to a customs duty rate of 6,50 % on imports into the Community.
