HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
| Description of the goods | Classification(CN code) | Reasons |
|---|---|---|
| (1) | (2) | (3) |
| An electrical apparatus (so-called ‘video converter’), rectangular shaped, with dimensions of approximately 17 × 14 × 4 cm. The apparatus has the following sockets:a Serial Digital Interface (SDI),a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI),an RJ-45 interface, anda power connector.The apparatus is designed to convert video signals from SDI format to HDMI format.The RJ-45 interface serves to connect the apparatus to the Ethernet only for the software updates and to get electric power needed for those updates (Power over Ethernet (‘PoE’)). | 85437090 | 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 8543, 854370 and 85437090.The RJ-45 interface (communication function via Ethernet) is ancillary to the principal function (video conversion), as it serves only to receive updates while no video signals are transmitted via that interface. Classification under heading 8517 is therefore excluded.Consequently, the apparatus is to be classified under CN code 85437090 as other electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85. |
