8518 40 99 |
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8518, 8518 40 and 8518 40 99. The decoding and processing of sound signals is considered to be a part of the audio-frequency amplification function. Since the video-related function only synchronises the sound and the video signals, it remains classified in heading 8518. |

8527 39 80 |
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, 8527 39 and 8527 39 80. Within the meaning of Note 3 to Section XVI, the component which provides the principal function of the composite machine is the radio-broadcast receiver. The amplification and processing of sound are considered to be secondary functions compared with reception for radio-broadcasting. Consequently, the composite machine is classified as radio-broadcast reception apparatus under CN code 8527 39 80. |

8528 21 90 |
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 8528, 8528 21 and 8528 21 90. Classification under subheading 8471 60 is excluded, as the monitor is not of a kind solely or principally used in an automatic data-processing system (see Note 5 to Chapter 84), in view of its capabilities to display signals from various sources. Likewise, the product is not classifiable under heading 8531, because its function is not to provide visual indication for signalling purposes (see the HS explanatory notes to heading 8531, point D). |

9032 89 90 |
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 7(b) to Chapter 90 and by the wording of CN codes 9032, 9032 89 and 9032 89 90. Note 5(B) to Chapter 84 precludes classification of the system under heading 8471 since it performs a specific function other than data-processing as prescribed by Note 5(E) to Chapter 84. The system is an automatic regulator for automatically controlling non-electrical quantities the operation of which depends on an electrical phenomenon varying according to the factor to be controlled (Note 7(b) to Chapter 90). |
