An electronic apparatus with dimensions of approximately 10 × 4 × 1 cm, comprising, amongst others, the following components: — a processor, — a system memory of 1 GB, — an internal memory of 4 GB, — a built-in module for wireless connection to the internet. It is equipped with the following interfaces: — HDMI, — USB, — micro USB, — micro SDHC. The apparatus does not incorporate a video tuner. When connected to a television set or a monitor, the apparatus enables the user to access the internet,
Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, additional note 3 to Chapter 85, and by the wording of CN codes 8528, 8528 71 and 8528 71 91. Within the meaning of note 3 to Section XVI, the apparatus is designed to perform two or more alternative functions (automatic data- processing of heading 8471, telecommunication of heading 8517, video reproduction of heading 8521 and reception of television of heading 8528). It is not possible to determine the apparatus' principal function, as each function is equally important for the use of the apparatus. Consequently, the apparatus is to be classified under the heading which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration. Classification under headings 8471, 8517 or 8521 is therefore excluded. As the apparatus does not contain a video tuner and allows interactive exchange of information, it is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 71 91 as apparatus with a microprocessor-based device incorporating a modem for gaining access to the internet, and having a function of interactive information exchange, capable of receiving television signals (so-called ‘set-top boxes which have a communication function’, including those incorporating a device performing a recording or reproducing function, provided that they retain the essential character of a set top box which has a communication function).

Apparatus in a single housing with dimensions of approximately 31 × 20 × 5 cm, comprising the following components: – a microprocessor, – a dual DVB-S/DVB-T digital tuner, – a flash memory, and – a ‘smart card’ reader for conditional access to a service provider. The apparatus is equipped with the following interfaces: – a satellite RF input, – a terrestrial RF input, – a terrestrial RF output, – an Ethernet (RJ45), – two USB, – a HDMI, – two SCART, – two RCA for audio output, – a S/PDIF (optica
Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528, 8528 71 and 8528 71 15. The apparatus is a composite machine capable of performing the functions of both headings 8521 and 8528. Given its characteristics, neither function is considered to be the apparatus’ principal function within the meaning of Note 3 to Section XVI. The apparatus is therefore to be classified under the heading that occurs last in numerical order, namely heading 8528. Despite the presence of interchangeable hard disks, a capability to reproduce content from external media as well as a capability to record the free channels received, the apparatus retains the essential character of a so-called "set-top box which has a communication function". It is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 71 15 as a set-top box which has a communication function. Documented CN 2026 code: 85287100, 8528.

Apparatus in a single housing with dimensions of approximately 27 × 15 × 6 cm, comprising the following components: – a microprocessor, – two cable digital tuners, – a cable modem, – a flash memory, and – a ‘smart card’ reader for conditional access to a service provider. The apparatus is equipped with the following interfaces: – a RF input and a RF output, – two Ethernet (RJ45), – two USB, – a HDMI, – a SCART, – six RCA for audio and video output, – a S/PDIF (optical digital audio output), and
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 8528, 8528 71 and 8528 71 15. The apparatus is a composite machine capable of performing the functions of both headings 8521 and 8528. Given its characteristics and mainly the capacity to record only content received from the service provider, the apparatus is principally intended to be used for receiving television signals. Therefore, classification under heading 8521 is excluded. Given that the apparatus is not designed to incorporate a video display or a screen and that its main components are tuners, a microprocessor and a modem for gaining access to the Internet and having the function of interactive information exchange, it retains the essential character of a so-called "set-top box which has a communication function". It is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 71 15 as a set-top box which has a communication function. Documented CN 2026 code: 85287100, 8528.

Set, put up for retail sale, consisting of: – apparatus A: a wireless transmitter for audio/video signals (television) with a built-in wireless receiver for radio remote control signals incorporating an infrared transmitter and two separate antennas, and – apparatus B: a wireless receiver for audio/video signals (television) with a built-in wireless transmitter for radio remote control signals incorporating an infrared receiver and two separate antennas. The set is designed for transmission of a
Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 3 to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8528, 8528 71 and 8528 71 99. The principal function of apparatus A is the transmission of audio/video signals (television) as described in heading 8525 (see Note 3 to Section XVI). The principal function of apparatus B is the reception of television signals, as described in heading 8528. The transmission of signals coming from the remote control device is of a secondary nature (see Note 3 to Section XVI). Given the functions performed by apparatus A and apparatus B, the intended use of the set is the transmission and reception of television. The product is a set within the meaning of General Interpretative Rule (GIR) 3(b), consisting of a transmission apparatus of heading 8525 and a television reception apparatus of heading 8528. Given that neither component gives the set its essential character, classification by virtue of GIR 3(b) is excluded. Since the set cannot be classified by application of GIR 3(a) or 3(b), it is to be classified, by application of GIR 3(c), under CN code 8528 71 99 as other reception apparatus for television not designed to incorporate a video display or screen.
