An audio apparatus (so-called ‘soundbar’) for sound reproduction of audio files of various formats from various interfaces. Its overall dimensions are approximately 110 × 14 × 7 cm. The apparatus is equipped with: — Ethernet interface, — Bluetooth and WiFi network connectivity, — digital optical input and RCA line inputs and outputs, — two USB ports, of which one is mini and for product servicing. The apparatus can be used with another sound reproducing apparatus or with a television apparatus.
Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of the CN codes 8519 , 8519 81 and 8519 81 45 . The apparatus combines the function of a loudspeaker of heading 8518 (when used in connection with another sound reproducing apparatus or with a television apparatus) and a function of a sound reproducing apparatus of heading 8519 (when reproducing audio files from a USB flash memory or from an internet radio). As the apparatus also performs a sound reproducing function, classification under heading 8518 is excluded. Since the apparatus is supplied with a USB connection, it means that it is using semiconductor media. Therefore, the product is to be classified under CN code 8519 81 45 as ‘other sound reproducing apparatus using semiconductor media’. Documented CN 2026 code: 85198100, 8519. Commission 2026 transposition note: 8519 81 00 Modification of structure of heading 8519.

Item 1: A machine with sound-reproducing and editing functions in a housing with dimensions of approximately 43 × 15 × 8 cm. It is equipped with a CD reader and an audio output. It has knobs, push-buttons, sliders and a small liquid crystal display (LCD) indicator. The machine is capable of editing sound: it is equipped with seamless-loop points, stutter starts, a beats-per-minute (BPM) counter and a fader. The machine is intended to be used for sound- reproducing and -editing in a non- professi
Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 3 to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8519, 8519 81 and 8519 81 35. As the machine is designed for the purpose of performing two alternative functions (sound reproducing function and sound editing function), it is to be classified, by virtue of note 3 to Section XVI, as being that machine which performs the principal function. Due to its objective characteristics, namely the presence of only one input possibility for sound files (the CD reader) and the limited editing capability, the sound reproducing function is the machine's principal function. The machine is therefore to be classified under CN code 8519 81 35 as other sound recording or sound reproducing apparatus with laser reading system. Documented CN 2026 code: 85198100, 8519. Commission 2026 transposition note: 8519 81 00 Modification of structure of heading 8519.

Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 8519, 8519 81 and 8519 81 95. The digital sound recording and reproducing apparatus gives the whole set its essential character. Documented CN 2026 code: 85198100, 8519.

Item 1: Battery-powered cassette-player, in the form of a cylinder like a beverage-can approximately 10 cm high with a diameter of 7 cm, not incorporating a sound-recording device, but with an analogue reading-system, and lightweight stereo-headphones connected by cable. It has several press- buttons for operating it, a volume- control, a carrying-strap and a belt-clip
Classification is determined by the provisions of General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 4 to Section XVI and the wording of CN codes 8519, 8519 81 and 8519 81 25. Due to its shape and dimensions, the device cannot be regarded as a pocket-size cassette- player (additional note 2 to Chapter 85) Documented CN 2026 code: 85198100, 8519.
