ANNEX Description of the goods Classification (CN-code) Reasons (1) (2) (3) An electrical apparatus using Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) and Frequency Modulation (FM) technology for radio broadcast reception. Its overall dimensions are approximately 115 × 180 × 120 mm and it is capable of operating without an external source of power. The apparatus is equipped with a built-in loudspeaker, Bluetooth/Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) (which allows the apparatus to make sound audible wirelessly from sound-reproducing devices (e.g. MP3 players) that are also equipped with Bluetooth/A2DP profile), a socket for connection to headphones, and a socket for connection to an external power adaptor. 8527 19 00 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 8527 and 8527 19 00 . Apart from the function of radio broadcast reception, the apparatus receives, converts and transmits data (via the A2DP profile), which is a function covered by heading 8517 (see Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2224 ( 1 ) ). Therefore, the apparatus cannot be considered to be combined with a sound-reproducing apparatus (function of heading 8519 ). The apparatus is therefore to be classified as a radio-broadcast receiver not combined with a sound-reproducing apparatus under CN code 8527 19 00 .
