| (1) | (2) | (3) |
| 1. A product put up in a set for retail sale, consisting of:
The product (known as a ‘home cinema system’) is designed to provide audio and video entertainment in the home, mainly by reproducing sound and images stored on a DVD. | 8521 90 00 | Classification is determined by the provisions of General Rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 3 to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8521 and 8521 90 00. The product is a set put up for retail sale, in which the component giving the set its essential character is the composite machine (GIR 3(b)). Within the meaning of Note 3 to Section XVI, the component which provides for the principal function of the composite machine is the DVD/CD player. The amplification of sound and the reproduction of radio-broadcast signals are considered to be secondary functions compared with the video reproduction function. Consequently, the set is classifiable as video reproduction apparatus under CN code 8521 90 00. |
| 2. A product put up in a set for retail sale, consisting of:
The product (known as a ‘home cinema system’) is designed to provide audio and video entertainment in the home, mainly by reproducing sound and images stored on a DVD. | 8521 90 00 | Classification is determined by the provisions of General Rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8521 and 8521 90 00. The product is a set put up for retail sale, in which the component giving the set its essential character is the DVD/CD player. Consequently, the set is classifiable as video reproduction apparatus under CN code 8521 90 00. |
| 3. A network analyser, consisting of an analyser module, a capture memory and an interface to an automatic data processing (ADP) machine, in a single housing. The analyser is designed to provide information on the performance of networks by monitoring network activity, decoding all major protocols, and generating network traffic. The ADP machine is not presented with the analyser. | 9031 80 39 | Classification is determined by the provisions of General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 5(E) to Chapter 84, Additional Note 1 to Chapter 90 and by the wording of CN codes 9031, 9031 80 and 9031 80 39. The analyser, performing a specific function by means of the analyser module, is excluded from heading 8471 by application of note 5(E) to Chapter 84. The analyser is specifically designed for analysing the traffic in a network and not for measuring or checking electrical quantities, thus being excluded from heading 9030. |
| 4. A network analyser consisting of a central management bus, an analyser module, an automatic data processing machine, a monitor and a keyboard, in a single housing. The analyser is designed to perform the following functions:
| 9031 80 39 | Classification is determined by the provisions of General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 5(E) to Chapter 84, Additional Note 1 to Chapter 90 and by the wording of CN codes 9031, 9031 80 and 9031 80 39. The analyser, performing a specific function by means of the analyser module, is excluded from heading 8471 by application of Note 5(E) to Chapter 84. The analyser is specifically designed for analysing the traffic in a network and not for measuring or checking electrical quantities, thus being excluded from heading 9030. |
