Commission Regulation (EC) No 215/2009
Of 18 March 2009 — CELEX 32009R0215
Description of the goods
A so-called ‘radio tuner module’, designed to be incorporated in radio-broadcast receivers of the kind used in motor vehicles, together with other components such as a power supply unit, signal processors, audio amplifiers and channel memorisation circuits. The module consists of a radio frequency block, an intermediate frequency block and AM/FM demodulation circuits. The module isolates radio frequency and demodulates the audio signal without any further processing.
Reasons
Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 2(a) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8527 and 8527 29 00. As the module has all the necessary components (a radio frequency block, an intermediate frequency block and AM/FM demodulation circuits) for receiving and processing radio-broadcasts, it is to be considered, by virtue of General Rule 2(a), to have the essential character of a complete or finished product of heading 8527. The module is therefore to be classified under that heading. Classification under heading 8529 as a part suitable for use solely or principally with an apparatus of heading 8527 is therefore excluded. The module is therefore to be classified under heading 8527 as a radio-broadcast receiver not capable of operating without an external source of power, of a kind used in motor vehicles.
