  "text": "Description of the goods\nClassification (CN code)\nReasons\n(1)\n(2)\n(3)\n1.. A multifunctional apparatus (so-called ‘ multimedia centre for motor vehicles ’ ) of a kind used in motor vehicles, consisting of two main components:\na reception apparatus for radio-broadcasting combined with a CD/DVD player,\na detachable colour liquid crystal display (LCD) with a touch screen function with a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 17,5 cm (7 inches) and an aspect ratio of 16:9.\nThe apparatus is equipped with connectors enabling the reception of video signals from external sources such as a rear-view camera.\nThe apparatus is presented with a remote control.\nAn additional display can be connected to the apparatus.\n8528 59 70\nClassification is determined by general rules (GIR) 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528 , 8528 59 and 8528 59 70 .\nThe apparatus is designed for the purpose of performing various functions (sound reproduction, video reproduction, radio-broadcasting, displaying video), none of which, in view of its design and concept, gives the apparatus its essential character.\nBy application of GIR 3(c), the apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 59 70 as other monitors.\n2.. A multifunctional apparatus (so-called ‘ multimedia centre for motor vehicles ’ ) of a kind used in motor vehicles measuring approximately 17 × 5 × 16 cm.\nIt combines, in the same housing, a reception apparatus for radio-broadcasting, a sound and a video reproducing apparatus and a colour liquid crystal display (LCD) with a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 8 cm (3,5 inches).\nThe apparatus is equipped with connectors enabling the reception of video signals from external sources such as a rear-view camera.\nThe apparatus can also reproduce sound and images from a USB memory stick.\nThe apparatus is presented with a remote control.\nAn additional display can be connected to the apparatus.\n8528 59 70\nClassification is determined by general rules (GIR) 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528 , 8528 59 and 8528 59 70 .\nThe apparatus is designed for the purpose of performing various functions (sound reproduction, video reproduction, radio-broadcasting, displaying video), none of which, in view of its design and concept, gives the apparatus its essential character.\nThe apparatus is not able to display signals directly from an automatic data-processing machine as the USB interface is only used for reproducing audio or video from a USB memory stick. Consequently, classification under subheadings 8528 51 00 and 8528 59 31 is excluded.\nBy application of GIR 3(c), the apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 59 70 as other monitors.\n3.. A multifunctional apparatus (so-called ‘ multimedia centre for motor vehicles ’ ) of a kind used in motor vehicles.\nIt combines, in the same housing, a reception apparatus for radio-broadcasting, a sound and a video reproducing apparatus, a radio navigational apparatus and a colour liquid crystal display (LCD) with a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 18 cm (7 inches) and an aspect ratio of 16:9.\nThe apparatus is equipped with connectors enabling the reception of video signals from external sources such as a rear-view camera or a DVB-T tuner.\nThe apparatus can also reproduce sound and images from a memory card.\nThe apparatus is presented with two remote controls.\nAn additional display can be connected to the apparatus.\n8528 59 70\nClassification is determined by general rules (GIR) 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528 , 8528 59 and 8528 59 70 .\nThe apparatus is designed for the purpose of performing various functions (sound reproduction, video reproduction, radio navigational aid, radio-broadcasting, displaying video), none of which, in view of its design and concept, gives the apparatus its essential character.\nBy application of GIR 3(c), the apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 59 70 as other monitors.",
