  "text": "Description of the goods\nClassification(CN-code)\nReasons\n(1)\n(2)\n(3)\nAn audio apparatus (so-called ‘soundbar’) for sound reproduction of audio files of various formats from various interfaces. Its overall dimensions are approximately 110 × 14 × 7 cm.\nThe apparatus is equipped with:\nEthernet interface,\nBluetooth and WiFi network connectivity,\ndigital optical input and RCA line inputs and outputs,\ntwo USB ports, of which one is mini and for product servicing.\nThe apparatus can be used with another sound reproducing apparatus or with a television apparatus. It can also reproduce audio files stored on the USB flash memory or an internet radio. It is designed to create surround sound and stereo effects.\n8519 81 45\nClassification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of the CN codes 8519, 8519 81 and 8519 81 45.\nThe apparatus combines the function of a loudspeaker of heading 8518 (when used in connection with another sound reproducing apparatus or with a television apparatus) and a function of a sound reproducing apparatus of heading 8519 (when reproducing audio files from a USB flash memory or from an internet radio).\nAs the apparatus also performs a sound reproducing function, classification under heading 8518 is excluded.\nSince the apparatus is supplied with a USB connection, it means that it is using semiconductor media. Therefore, the product is to be classified under CN code 8519 81 45 as ‘other sound reproducing apparatus using semiconductor media’.",
