  "text": "The image is purely for information.\nDescription of the goods\nClassification(CN-code)\nReasons\n(1)\n(2)\n(3)\nAn article (so-called ‘digital microscope’) in cylindrical form with a length of approximately 10 cm and a diameter of approximately 3 cm. The digital microscope is equipped with four light emitting diodes, a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensor and a cable with a USB connector. The article functions only in conjunction with an automatic data-processing (ADP) machine and has no inbuilt recording capabilities.\nThe article is capable of magnifying objects in a range of 10-200 times by means of an optical lens and capturing still images as well as video images that can subsequently be recorded on an ADP machine using dedicated software.\nSee image.\n8525 80 19\nClassification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 5(E) to Chapter 84 and by the wording of the CN codes 8525, 8525 80 and 8525 80 19.\nThe article is able to function as an input unit for an ADP machine, a television camera, and as a digital microscope.\nClassification as an input unit for an ADP machine of heading 8471 is excluded since the article performs a specific function other than data-processing.\nClassification as a compound optical microscope of heading 9011 is also excluded as this article does not have the characteristics of an article of that heading (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 9011 first paragraph and second paragraph (I)).\nAs an image of the magnified object can be displayed and if necessary recorded by an ADP machine only after being captured by the CMOS sensor, the article has a character of a television camera.\nConsequently, the article is to be classified under CN code 8525 80 19 as a television camera.",
