Open ↗ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) An apparatus (so-called ‘smartphone docking station’) consisting of the following components: — a 29,5 cm colour LCD screen, — a hinged casing with two USB ports, — a keyboard with a touchpad, — a dock for a smartphone, — a power supply socket using a voltage not exceeding 1 000 V, — built-in loudspeakers. When the smartphone is docked, its battery is charged and, simultaneously, the apparatus serves as an input/output unit to perform all the functions of the docked smartphone. As the apparatus is not equipped with a signal converter, all the signals are received unaltered from the docked smartphone. The apparatus is not suitable for connection to an automatic data- processing machine. 8537 10 99 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 8537 , 8537 10 and 8537 10 99 . The apparatus is a composite machine capable of performing the functions of headings 8504 , 8518 , 8528 and 8537 . All the individual functions performed by its different components are included in the abovementioned headings of Chapter 85. Therefore, classification under heading 8543 as electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85, is excluded. Given its characteristics, none of the functions is considered to be the principal function of the apparatus within the meaning of note 3 to Section XVI. Consequently, it is to be classified under the heading that occurs last in numerical order. The apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8537 10 99 as other boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets and other bases for electric control for a voltage not exceeding 1 000 V.
