ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) 1. A machine with sound reproducing and editing functions in a housing with dimensions of approximately 43 × 15 × 8 cm. It is equipped with a CD reader and an audio output. It has knobs, push-buttons, sliders and a small liquid crystal display (LCD) indicator. The machine is capable of editing sound: it is equipped with seamless loop points, stutter starts, a beats per minute (BPM) counter and a fader. The machine is intended to be used for sound reproducing and editing in a non-professional environment. 8519 81 35 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 8519 , 8519 81 and 8519 81 35 . As the machine is designed for the purpose of performing two alternative functions (sound reproducing function and sound editing function), it is to be classified, by virtue of note 3 to Section XVI, as being that machine which performs the principal function. Due to its objective characteristics, namely the presence of only one input possibility for sound files (the CD reader) and the limited editing capability, the sound reproducing function is the machine's principal function. The machine is therefore to be classified under CN code 8519 81 35 as other sound recording or sound reproducing apparatus with laser reading system. 2. A machine with sound reproducing and editing/mixing functions (so-called ‘disc jockey multi player’) in a housing with dimensions of approximately 40 × 32 × 10 cm. It is equipped with a CD reader and has various interfaces (USB, audio outputs, SD card reader). It has knobs, push-buttons, sliders and a 6,1 inches liquid crystal display (LCD) indicator. The machine is capable of editing and mixing sound. For those purposes it is, inter alia, equipped with: — an auto beats per minute (BPM) counter; — a fader start and back cue; — a track hot cue; — a loop; — a 4 beat loop; — cue point setting. The machine is intended to be used by professional disc-jockeys for reproducing, editing and mixing sound. The sound files that are reproduced, edited and mixed can come from various sources (CD-reader, automatic data-processing (ADP) machine, USB memory or SD card). The machine can operate stand-alone or in conjunction with an ADP machine. 8543 70 90 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 8543 , 8543 70 and 8543 70 90 . As the machine is designed for the purpose of performing two alternative functions (sound reproducing function and sound editing/mixing function), it is to be classified, by virtue of note 3 to Section XVI, as being that machine which performs the principal function. Due to its objective characteristics, namely the number of technical features for editing and mixing sound, the possibility to mix sound files originating from various sources, the design and conception of the machine, the sound editing /mixing function is the machine's principal function. Consequently, classification under heading 8519 is excluded. The machine is therefore to be classified under CN code 8543 70 90 as other machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85.
