Open ↗ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN-code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) An electronic apparatus (so-called ‘media server’) comprising a built-in flash memory of 2 TB, a hard disk with a storage capacity of 4 TB and a MPEG processor for various video, picture and audio formats. The apparatus is equipped with, amongst others, the following interfaces: — two 1Gbe (GigaBit ethernet) copper ingest ports, used for reception, — two 10Gbe SFP type, (Small Form-factor Pluggable) streaming ports, used for transmission, — two 1Gbe copper management ports for the management of the apparatus, — two USB ports. The apparatus uses the following media formats: — MPEG-2 TS and MPEG-4 (H.264), — Variable Bitrate (VBR) and Constant Bitrate (CBR), — High-Definition (HD) and Standard-Definition (SD). The apparatus is able to provide up to 2 500 streams with a speed of 3,75 Mbps. The apparatus is used by cable or internet television providers for distributing on demand multimedia products to consumers. Multimedia products, such as video sequences, pictures, data and sound are exchanged (received and transmitted) among media servers, installed within the providers' network. The apparatus records the received content and transmits it on demand via OTT (Over the Top Technology) streaming to the clients' terminal equipment, for example, television sets, automatic data-processing machines, game consoles or mobile phones. 8525 60 00 Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8525 and 8525 60 00 . The apparatus is designed for performing two or more alternative functions (telecommunication of heading 8517 , video recording or reproduction of heading 8521 and transmission of heading 8525 ). It is not possible to determine the apparatus' principal function within the meaning of note 3 to Section XVI as each function is equally important for the use of the apparatus. Consequently, classification is to be done under the heading which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration. Classification under headings 8517 or 8521 is therefore excluded. As the apparatus is not only able to transmit, but also to receive, within the providers' network, video content (television signals) from other media servers, classification under subheading 8525 50 00 is excluded. The apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8525 60 00 as transmission apparatus incorporating reception apparatus.
