  "text": "Description of the goods\nClassification(CN code)\nReasons\n(1)\n(2)\n(3)\nA device (so-called ‘Traffic Message Channel (TMC) receiver’) comprising an FM receiver, an aerial cable (antenna) and a power supply. It is equipped with a USB-connector.\nThe device receives telemetric signals containing traffic information using a traffic message channel through FM radio broadcast band. The device is to be connected with a USB-connector to a global positioning system (GPS) receiver, which processes the telemetric signals received and displays the traffic information on the screen.\nThe device does not receive sound broadcast signals.\n8517 69 39\nClassification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8517, 8517 69 and 8517 69 39.\nAs the device only works when connected to a GPS, increasing the GPS’ functionality, it is considered an accessory of a GPS and is therefore to be classified on its own merits.\nThe device does not receive any sound signals. Consequently, classification under heading 8527 as a reception apparatus for radio-broadcasting is excluded.\nThe device is not portable as it only works when connected to a GPS. In addition, the device cannot perform alone the calling, alerting or paging function as it only receives telemetric signals. Consequently, classification under subheading 8517 69 31 as portable receivers for calling, alerting or paging is excluded.\nThe device is therefore to be classified under CN code 8517 69 39 as other apparatus for the transmission or reception of voice, images or other data, including apparatus for communication in a wired or wireless network (see also the CN Explanatory Notes to subheading 8517 69 39, item 6).",
