| A set put up for retail sale consisting of:—apparatus Aa wireless transmitter for audio/video signals (television) with a built-in wireless receiver for radio remote control signals incorporating an infrared transmitter and two separate antennas, and—apparatus Ba wireless receiver for audio/video signals (television) with a built-in wireless transmitter for radio remote control signals incorporating an infrared receiver and two separate antennas.The set is designed for transmission of an audio/video signal from an external source such as a satellite receiver or a DVD player connected to apparatus A, to another audio/video apparatus such as a monitor or a television set connected to apparatus B, within a range of 400 m.The audio/video signals transmitted from apparatus A to apparatus B at a frequency of 2,4 GHz are in the form of television signals.The signals transmitted from apparatus B to apparatus A at a frequency of 433 MHz are initiated by an infrared remote control device. These signals function independently of the signals for audio/video transmission.The remote control device is used for controlling the external source connected to the audio/video transmitter (apparatus A).note See image | 85287199 | Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 3 to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8528, 852871 and 85287199.The principal function of apparatus A is the transmission of audio/video signals (television) as described in heading 8525 (see Note 3 to Section XVI).The principal function of apparatus B is the reception of television signals, as described in heading 8528. The transmission of signals coming from the remote control device is of a secondary nature (see Note 3 to Section XVI).Given the functions performed by apparatus A and apparatus B, the intended use of the set is the transmission and reception of television.The product is a set within the meaning of General Interpretative Rule (GIR) 3(b), consisting of a transmission apparatus of heading 8525 and a television reception apparatus of heading 8528. Given that neither component gives the set its essential character, classification by virtue of GIR 3(b) is excluded.Since the set cannot be classified by application of GIR 3(a) or 3(b), it is to be classified, by application of GIR 3(c), under CN code 85287199 as other reception apparatus for television not designed to incorporate a video display or screen. |
