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).

An apparatus (so-called ‘LCD video wall display’) comprising a colour monitor of the LCD technology and an automatic data-processing (ADP) machine, with dimensions of approximately 91 × 53 × 12 cm. The monitor with a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 102 cm (40 inches) has the following characteristics: — a native resolution of 1 920 × 1 080 pixels, — an aspect ratio of 16:9, — a pixel pitch of 0,46125 mm, — a response time of 8 ms, — a maximum brightness of 700 cd/m2, — a typi
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 59 and 8528 59 31. The apparatus is designed to perform two functions of Section XVI (data-processing of heading 8471 and video display of heading 8528). By virtue of note 3 to that section, it is to be classified as being that apparatus which performs the principal function. Given its concept and design, such as the fact that the ADP machine is used as a video wall processor for providing video wall control over a network of up to 5 × 5 video wall configurations, the apparatus is intended to be used as a monitor component of a LCD video wall. Consequently the apparatus' principal function is that of a monitor of heading 8528. Classification under heading 8471 as an ADP machine is therefore excluded. Given its objective characteristics, such as the size of the screen, the supported video modes, a pixel pitch not suitable for prolonged close viewing, the high brightness, the presence of a remote control, the audio circuits with amplification and the PIP function, the monitor is not considered to be of a kind solely or principally used in an ADP system of heading 8471. Classification under subheading 8528 51 00 is therefore excluded. As the monitor is capable of displaying signals from an ADP machine at a level sufficient for practical use with the ADP machine, it is considered to be capable of displaying signals from automatic data-processing machines with an acceptable level of functionality. The apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 59 31 as other flat panel displays able to display signals from automatic data-processing machines with an acceptable level of functionality with a screen of the liquid crystal display (LCD) technology.

A colour monitor of the liquid crystal display (LCD) type with a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 48 cm (19 inches) with dimensions of approximately 46 × 37 × 21 cm with: — a native resolution of 1 440 × 900 pixels, — supported resolutions of 640 × 480, 800 × 600, 1 024 × 768 and 1 280 × 1 024 pixels, — an aspect ratio of 16:10, — a pixel pitch of 0,285 mm, — a brightness of 300 cd/m 2 , — a contrast ratio of 500:1, — a response time of 8 ms, — two loudspeakers, — power and co
Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 8528 and 8528 51 00. Given the objective characteristics of the product, such as the resolution, the supported resolutions, the aspect ratio, the pixel pitch suitable for prolonged close viewing, the brightness, the interfaces commonly used in ADP systems and the presence of tilt mechanisms, the intended use is that of a monitor of a kind solely or principally used in an ADP system of heading 8471. The monitor is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 51 00 as other monitors of a kind solely or principally used in an automatic data-processing system of heading 8471.

An apparatus combining a colour monitor of the liquid crystal display (LCD) type and a touch-sensitive surface (so-called ‘monitor with touch screen’) with a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 38 cm (15 inches) with: — a native resolution of 1 024 × 768 pixels, — supported resolutions of 640 × 350, 720 × 400, 640 × 480, 800 × 600 and 1 024 × 768 pixels, — an aspect ratio of 4:3, — a pixel pitch of 0,297 mm, — a brightness of 250 cd/m 2 , — a horizontal viewing angle of 120° 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 and 8528 51 00. The apparatus is a composite machine performing the function of an X-Y coordinate input device of heading 8471 and of a monitor of heading 8528. Apart from displaying information, the apparatus enables users to input data. Given the design, concept and objective characteristics of the apparatus, namely the monitors’ ability to perform its function independently of the input device, the displaying function constitutes the apparatus’ principal function within the meaning of note 3 to Section XVI. Given its objective characteristics, such as the aspect ratio, the pixel pitch suitable for prolonged close viewing, the brightness, the interfaces commonly used in ADP systems, the tilt and swivel mechanisms and glare free surface, the monitor is considered to be of a kind solely or principally used in an ADP system of heading 8471. The apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 51 00 as other monitors of a kind solely or principally used in an automatic data-processing system of heading 8471.

A colour monitor of the liquid crystal display (LCD) type with a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 54 cm (21 inches) with dimensions (without stand) of approximately 37 × 47 × 7 cm with: — a resolution of 1 200 × 1 600 pixels, — an aspect ratio of 3:4, — a pixel pitch of 0,270 mm, — a horizontal scanning frequency of 31 to 76 kHz, — a vertical scanning frequency of 49 to 61 Hz, — a maximum brightness of 250 cd/m 2 which can be calibrated, — a total viewing angle, horizontal and
Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528, 8528 59 and 8528 59 31. Given its objective characteristics, such as the conformity to DICOM standards allowing the user to set extremely precise gamma, brightness and colour temperature values and enabling the monitor to display colour and greyscale gradations of images with the accuracy required for medical diagnostics, the intended use of the monitor is that of a medical display used in medical systems for displaying radiographic images for clinical diagnostics. The monitor is not considered to be of a kind solely or principally used in an automatic data-processing (ADP) system of heading 8471. Classification under subheading 8528 51 00 is therefore excluded. As the monitor is capable of displaying signals from an ADP machine at a level sufficient for practical use with the ADP machine, it is considered to be capable of displaying signals from automatic data-processing machines with an acceptable level of functionality. The monitor is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 59 31 as flat panel displays able to display signals from automatic data- processing machines with an acceptable level of functionality with a screen of the liquid crystal display (LCD) technology.

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528, 8528 59 and 8528 59 31. Given its objective characteristics, such as the size of the screen, the supported TV standards and video modes, a pixel pitch not suitable for prolonged close viewing, the high brightness, the presence of a remote control, the audio circuits with amplification, the PIP function and the fixed stand without tilt and swivel mechanisms, the monitor is not considered to be of a kind solely or principally used in an ADP system of heading 8471. Classification under subheading 8528 51 00 is therefore excluded. As the monitor is capable of displaying signals from an ADP machine at a level sufficient for practical use with the ADP machine, it is considered to be capable of displaying signals from automatic data-processing machines with an acceptable level of functionality.

The apparatus is designed for the purpose of performing various functions (sound reproduction, video reproduction, radio- broadcasting, displaying video), none of which, in view of its design and concept, gives the apparatus its essential character. The apparatus is not able to display signals directly from an automatic data-processing machine as the USB interface is only used for reproducing audio or video from a USB memory stick. Consequently, classification under subheadings 8528 51 00 and 8528 59 31 is excluded.

Stand of rectangular shape measuring approximately 55 × 31 cm, made of glass of fused silica, of a thickness of 8 mm. The stand includes a 5 cm high glass cylinder with a diameter of 5,5 cm and a specially designed mounting bracket. A console made of plastics of rectangular shape measuring approximately 17 × 10 × 2,5 cm is attached to the mounting bracket. The stand is used as a support for a television set to be placed, for example, on a table.
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 7020 00 and 7020 00 10. The presence of the stand is not indispensable for the functioning of a television set of heading 8528. Classification under heading 8529 as a part suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of headings 8525 to 8528 is therefore excluded. The stand is therefore to be classified according to the constituent material which gives it its essential character (glass).

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.

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".

Classification is determined by general rules 1, 2(a) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528 , 8528 59 and 8528 59 39 . Given that the panel is capable of displaying video it cannot be considered an electrical apparatus for signalling purposes using visual indication. Classification under heading 8531 as an indicator panel is therefore excluded. Given its objective characteristics, such as the size of the screen, the supported TV standards (CVBS) and video modes, a dot pitch not suitable for close viewing and the high brightness, the intended use of the panel is for sport or entertainment events, retail signage, etc. Consequently, it is not considered to be of a kind solely or principally used in an automatic data-processing system of heading 8471 . Classification under subheading 8528 51 00 is therefore also excluded. As the panel is capable of displaying signals from an automatic data-processing (ADP) machine at a level sufficient for practical use with the ADP machine, it is considered to be capable of displaying signals from automatic data-processing machines with an acceptable level of functionality. It is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 59 39 as other colour flat panel displays able to display signals from automatic data- processing machines with an acceptable level of functionality.’ Documented CN 2026 code: 85285299, 8528.

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.

A portable, battery-powered electronic eyewear apparatus for displaying images (so-called ‘video glasses’) with dimensions in a folded state of approximately 15 × 3,5 × 2,5 cm. The electronic eyewear apparatus consists of two liquid crystal device (LCD) screens, each with a resolution of 640 × 480 pixels (virtually equivalent to an 80-inch screen viewed from 2 metres away) and sound-processing circuits, mounted in a frame similar to a frame for spectacles. The apparatus is equipped with the foll
Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528, 8528 59 and 8528 59 31. As the apparatus does not incorporate a tuner or any similar device enabling the reception of television signals, classification as reception apparatus for television under subheading 8528 72 is excluded. The apparatus uses 2 very small LCD screens (one in front of each eye) for creating a virtual image equivalent of an 80 inch screen viewed 2 meters away. Given these objective characteristics and properties, and in particular its ability to display 3D images, the apparatus is intended for entertainment purposes such as watching films, viewing television or gaming. Consequently, classification under subheading 8528 51 is excluded as the apparatus cannot be considered of a kind solely or principally used in an ADP system of heading 8471. As the monitor is capable of displaying signals from an ADP machine at a level sufficient for practical use with the ADP machine, it is considered to be capable of displaying signals from automatic data-processing machines with an acceptable level of functionality.

Classification under heading 9703 00 00 as a sculpture is excluded, as none of the individual components or the whole installation, when assembled, can be considered as a sculpture. The components have been slightly modified by the artist, but these modifications do not alter their preliminary function of goods of Section XVI. It is the content recorded on the DVD which, together with the components of the installation, provides for the ‘modern art’. The video-sound installation is neither composite goods, as it rather consists of individual components, nor goods put up in sets for retail sale within the meaning of General Rule 3(b). Consequently, the components of the installation are to be classified separately. The video reproducing apparatus are therefore to be classified under CN code 8521 90 00, the projectors under CN code 8528 69 10, the loudspeakers under CN code 8518 21 00 and the DVDs under CN code 8523 49 51.

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 59 and 8528 59 70. As the apparatus is designed for the purpose of performing three functions within the meaning of note 3 to Section XVI (recording, reproducing and displaying images), it is to be classified as if consisting only of that machine which performs the principal function. Given the design and the concept of the apparatus, its purpose is to display still and video images. Recording still and video images is to be considered as a secondary function of the apparatus. Therefore its principal function is considered to be that of a monitor, which is an individual function specified in heading 8528. The fact that the signals are not displayed directly from external sources does not exclude classification under heading 8528 since monitors of that heading may be capable of receiving a variety of signals from different sources (see also the HSEN to heading 8528, third paragraph). The apparatus is not able to display signals directly from an automatic data-processing machine as the USB interfaces are only used for the transfer of media files. Consequently, classification under subheadings 8528 51 00 and 8528 59 31 is excluded. The apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 59 70 as other monitors.’ Documented CN 2026 code: 85285900, 8528, 85285100, 85285931, 852852.

Item 1: An apparatus for the recording, reproducing and displaying of still images (so-called ‘digital photo frame’), with overall dimensions 17 (L) × 12,9 (W) × 12,3 (D) cm, consisting of the following main components in a single housing: — a colour display of the liquid crystal device (LCD) type with a diagonal measurement of the screen of 13 cm (5,1 inches) and a resolution of 320 × 240 pixels, — a slot for a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, — an infra-red interface, — an internal memor
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 59 and 8528 59 70. As the apparatus is designed for the purpose of performing three functions within the meaning of note 3 to Section XVI (recording, reproducing and displaying images), it is to be classified as if consisting only of that machine which performs the principal function. Due to its capability of displaying images, the principal function of the apparatus is considered to be that of a monitor, which is an individual function specified in heading 8528. The fact that the signals are not displayed directly from external sources does not exclude classification under heading 8528 since monitors of that heading may be capable of receiving a variety of signals from different sources (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 8528, third paragraph). The apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 59 70 as other monitors. Documented CN 2026 code: 85285900, 8528.

Desktop-projector, for projecting data and images at a distance onto a large screen or wall, operating by means of a liquid-crystal device. It can be connected to an automatic data-processing machine.It has a video input, for reproducing images from sources such as a video recorder or video camera
Classification is determined by the provisions of General Rules 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528, 8528 69 and 8528 69 10. The apparatus can be considered as a unit for an automatic data processing machine of heading 8471 or as a video projector of heading 8528. Neither of these functions gives the apparatus its principal function. Therefore, it is classifiable in heading 8528 which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration. Documented CN 2026 code: 85286200, 8528.
