ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) A portable battery-operated multifunctional electronic apparatus in a single housing, measuring approximately 10 × 9,5 × 10,5 cm, equipped with: — a liquid crystal colour display with a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 9 cm (3,5 inches), an aspect ratio of 4:3 and a resolution of 320 × 240 pixels, — loudspeakers, — a microphone, — an alarm clock, — a memory of 2 GB, — a memory card reader, — a USB interface, — an interface for an FM antenna, — control buttons. The apparatus is capable of performing the following functions: — radio-broadcast reception, — voice recording, — sound reproduction, — still and video image reproduction, — alarm clock. ( *1 ) See image. 8527 13 99 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 8527 , 8527 13 and 8527 13 99 . As the apparatus is designed for the purpose of performing several functions of Chapter 85 it is to be classified, by virtue of Note 3 to Section XVI, as being that apparatus which performs the principal function. In view of the objective characteristics of the apparatus, namely the design and conception, its intended use is that of an alarm clock radio. The sound reproduction is considered secondary. In view of the small size and low resolution of the screen, the still and video image reproduction is also considered secondary. The apparatus’ principal function is therefore that of a reception apparatus for radio-broadcasting, combined in the same housing with sound recording or reproducing apparatus and a clock. The apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8527 13 99 as other radio-broadcast receivers capable of operating without an external source of power, combined with sound recording or reproducing apparatus.
