NENC85288528 62 00 to 8528 69 80

Monitors and projectors, not incorporating television reception apparatus; reception apparatus for television, whether or not incorporating radio-broadcast receivers or sound or video recording or reproducing apparatus According to general rule 3(c) for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, video surveillance systems, consisting of a limited number of television cameras and one monitor, fall within this heading when put up in a set for retail sale. The components of such video surveillance systems are to be classified separately when the system is not put up in a set for retail sale (see the HS General Explanatory Note to Section XVI, (VII)). This heading does not cover electronic reading devices for the visually handicapped (see the explanatory note to subheading 8543 70 90 ). Projectors These subheadings do not include products comprising a projector and a screen in the same housing (subheadings 8528 52 10 to 8528 59 00 or, when incorporating reception apparatus for television, subheading 8528 72 10 ). 8528 71 11 to 8528 71 19 Video tuners These subheadings include apparatus incorporating a video tuner which converts high-frequency television signals into signals usable by video recording or reproducing apparatus or monitors. The apparatus incorporates selector circuits, which permit tuning to a special channel or carrier frequency, and demodulation circuits. The apparatus may also be equipped with a decoding device (colour) or with separator circuitry for synchronisation. It is generally designed to operate with an individual aerial or a shared aerial (high-frequency cable distribution). The output signal can be used as an input signal for monitors or for recording or reproducing apparatus. It consists of the original camera signal (i.e., not modulated for transmission purposes). Analogue video tuners within the meaning of these subheadings may be in the form of modules comprising, at least, the radio frequency circuits (RF block), intermediate frequency circuits (IF block) and demodulation circuits (DEM block) where the output is a separate audio and composite video baseband signal (CVBS). Digital video tuners within the meaning of these subheadings may be in the form of modules comprising, at least, the RF block, IF block, DEM block and an MPEG decoder for digital television where the output is a separate audio and digital video signal. Modules incorporating both an analogue and a digital video tuner component fall under these subheadings when one of the components is to be classified as a complete or finished video tuner by application of general rule 2(a) for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. A module not fulfilling the above conditions is to be classified as a ‘part’ under heading 8529 .

Residual rule

Collection of parts: Where a change in classification results from the application of HS General Interpretative Rule 2(a) with respect to collections of parts that are presented as unassembled articles of another heading or subheading the individual parts shall retain their origin prior to such collection. Note 2: Assembly of the collection of parts: Goods assembled from a collection of parts classified as the assembled good by application of General Interpretative Rule 2 shall have origin in the country of assembly, provided the assembly would have satisfied the primary rule for the good had each of the parts been presented separately and not as a collection. Note 3: Disassembly of goods: A change of classification which results from the disassembly of goods shall not be considered as the change required by the rule set forth in the table of "list rules". The country of origin of the parts recovered from the goods shall be the country where the parts are recovered, unless the importer, exporter or any person with a justifiable cause to determine the origin of parts demonstrates another country of origin on the basis of verifiable evidence such as origin marks on the part itself or documents.

In that context, particular significance must be attached to the question whether they are intended for viewing close up. The question whether the user of the display and the person who processes and/or enters data in the automatic data-processing machine are one and the same person is not a relevant criterion for the purposes of that determination.
