Open ↗ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN-code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) An electrical apparatus (so-called ‘wireless speaker adapter’) in a housing with dimensions of approximately 52 × 52 ×13 mm and a weight of 26 g. The wireless speaker adapter consists of: — a built-in rechargeable battery, — a digital/analogue converter, — a Bluetooth technology based transmitter and receiver (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP), — a USB port for charging, and — a 3,5 mm audio port, for connection to a speaker system (not present upon presentation to customs). The apparatus allows the user to listen to music from a smartphone or similar portable device on a home audio system or via separate loudspeakers. The audio signal is sent wirelessly via Bluetooth from the smartphone to the apparatus. In the apparatus, the digital signal is converted to an analogue signal and sent by cables to the home audio system or to separate loudspeakers. The apparatus has a pause/play button that allows stopping and starting the music, but does not allow for selection of music or volume control. 8517 62 00 Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8517 and 8517 62 00 . As the apparatus can only send and receive audio signals wirelessly via Bluetooth (A2DP), and does not itself generate the audio signal or produce the sound it cannot be considered a sound reproducing apparatus. Classification under heading 8519 is therefore excluded. The function of the apparatus is to receive audio data wirelessly from a device (for example a mobile phone) and to transmit those data using cables to loudspeakers. The function of receiving, converting and transmitting data is covered by the wording of CN code 8517 62 00 . The apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8517 62 00 as a machine for the reception, conversion and transmission of voice or other data.
