ANNEX ‘ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN-code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) An unassembled modular screen panel (so-called “LED wall”), comprising several modules in the form of tiles, each tile measuring approximately 38 × 38 × 9 cm. Each tile contains red, green and blue light emitting diodes and has a resolution of 16 × 16 pixels, a dot pitch of 24 mm, a brightness of 2 000 cd/m 2 and a refresh rate of more than 300 Hz. They also contain drive electronics. The panel is presented together with a processing system comprising: — a video processor accepting various signal inputs (such as CVBS, Y/C, YUV/RGB, (HD-) SDI or DVI) and allowing the scaling of an image/video to the screen panel size, — a signal processor allowing the pixel mapping of the input signal to the screen panel. The processed signal is sent from the signal processor to a data distributor using optical fibre cables. The data distributor sends in turn the data to the various tiles of the screen panel. The panel is presented as being suitable for sport or entertainment events, retail signage, etc., but not suitable for close viewing. 8528 59 39 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.’
