law://eu/reg/2014/1036@2026-11-12THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariffnote, and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,Whereas:
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
| Description of the goods | Classification(CN-code) | Reasons |
|---|---|---|
| (1) | (2) | (3) |
| A printed circuit assembly presented for incorporation into a reception apparatus for television incorporating a LCD screen and a video reproducing apparatus.The assembly comprises the following interfaces for connecting with external apparatus:VGA input,HDMI inputs (HDCP supported),RGB video inputs (SCART connectors),video component input,CVBS video input and output,audio input and output,loudspeaker output,USB socket.The assembly also comprises several internal interfaces, for example, a low-voltage differential signalling (LVDS) interface for connecting with a LCD screen and an interface to the internal power supply.The assembly does not incorporate a so-called ‘tuner’ comprising radio frequency circuits (RF block), intermediate frequency circuits (IF block) and demodulation circuits (DEM block), for the reception of digital television signals.The LCD screen is not included upon presentation.The assembly performs several functions, for example, analogue-digital conversion, video decoding (for example, MPEG4), scaling, audio decoding, audio amplification, HDMI receiver and LVDS output transmitter for an LCD screen.In addition to standard video or television signals, the scaler is also able to process several incoming resolutions of the automatic-data processing (ADP) machine type (up to 1920 × 1080 pixels) into the native resolution of a LCD screen.The assembly is able to reproduce images and sound from an USB memory. | 85299065 | Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 2(b) to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8529, 852990 and 85299065.The assembly does not only have electronic components performing a video reproducing function, but it also contains components performing additional functions, such as the LVDS output transmitter for a LCD screen and the scaler which is, due to its ability to process several automatic data-processing type resolutions, specifically designed for reception apparatus for television incorporating a LCD screen. As the assembly contains more components (functionalities) than covered by heading 8521, classification under that heading as video reproducing apparatus is excluded.As the LCD screen is missing, classification under subheading 85287240 as a reception apparatus for television with a screen is excluded.The assembly is therefore to be classified under CN code 85299065 as electronic assemblies for apparatus of heading 8528. |
