ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) 1. An apparatus for the reception, recording or reproducing of audio and video (so-called ‘digital media receiver’) of a cylindrical shape with overall dimensions of approximately 13 (diameter) × 19 (height) cm. The apparatus incorporates: — a microprocessor, — a hard disk drive of 500 GB, — an alphanumeric display, — an infrared receiver for the remote control. It is equipped with the following interfaces: — USB, — Ethernet, — HDMI, S-video, composite and component video outputs, — digital optical, digital coaxial and analogue audio outputs. It is also equipped with control buttons and supplied with a remote control. The apparatus is capable of receiving audio and video signals in digital format from an external source (for example, a router, an automatic data-processing machine, a digital camera, a USB memory). The data may be stored on its hard disk. The data is reproduced on a monitor, a television set or through a stereo system. The apparatus cannot gain access to the internet. 8521 90 00 Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8521 and 8521 90 00 . Given its characteristics, namely the capacity to receive, record and reproduce video signals from various sources and the size of the hard disk, the apparatus is considered to be a video recording or reproducing apparatus of heading 8521 . It is therefore to be classified as a video recording or reproducing apparatus under CN code 8521 90 00 . 2. An apparatus for the reception or reproduction of audio and video (so-called ‘digital media receiver’) of a cylindrical shape with overall dimensions of approximately 13 (diameter) × 19 (height) cm. The apparatus incorporates: — a microprocessor, — an infrared receiver for the remote control, — an alpha-numeric display. It is equipped with the following interfaces: — USB, — Ethernet, — HDMI, S-video, composite and component video outputs, — digital optical, digital coaxial and analogue audio outputs, — a slot for a hard disk. It is also equipped with control buttons and supplied with a remote control. The apparatus is capable of receiving audio and video signals in digital format from an external source (for example, a router, an automatic data-processing machine, a digital camera, a USB memory). The data may be stored on a hard disk inserted after importation. The data is reproduced on a monitor, a television set or through a stereo system. The apparatus cannot gain access to the internet. 8521 90 00 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 8521 and 8521 90 00 . Given that the apparatus has all the necessary electronics for performing the functions of video recording or reproducing of heading 8521 except for the hard disk, it is to be considered, as having, by virtue of General Rule 2(a), the essential character of a complete or finished product of heading 8521 . The apparatus is therefore to be classified as an incomplete video recording or reproducing apparatus under CN code 8521 90 00 . 3. An apparatus for the reception and processing of audio (so-called ‘digital audio streamer’) with overall dimensions of approximately 19 × 9 × 8 cm. The apparatus incorporates: — a microprocessor, — a vacuum fluorescent display with a resolution of 320 × 32 grayscale pixels, — an on-screen clock with alarm, — an infrared receiver for the remote control. It is equipped with the following interfaces: — Ethernet, — wireless Ethernet, — digital optical, digital coaxial and analogue audio outputs, — a headphone jack. It is supplied with a remote control. The apparatus can function either in a stand alone mode connecting to an internet network (without an automatic data-processing (ADP) machine) or with software running on an ADP machine. It is capable of reproducing audio files stored on the ADP machine or any internet radio. 8519 89 19 Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8519 , 8519 89 and 8519 89 19 . Given its characteristics, the apparatus is designed to receive and process sound either directly from the internet or an ADP machine to various audio apparatus. The apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8519 89 19 as other sound reproducing apparatus, not incorporating a sound recording device.
