Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/200
Of 1 February 2017 — CELEX 32017R0200
Description of the goods
An electrical apparatus using Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) and Frequency Modulation (FM) technology for radio broadcast reception. Its overall dimensions are approximately 115 × 180 × 120 mm and it is capable of operating without an external source of power. The apparatus is equipped with a built-in loudspeaker, Bluetooth/Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) (which allows the apparatus to make sound audible wirelessly from sound-reproducing devices (e.g. MP3 players) that are also equipped with Bluetooth/A2DP profile), a socket for connection to headphones, and a socket for connection to an external power adaptor.
Reasons
Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 3 to Section XVI, and by the wording of CN codes 8527 and 8527 19 00. Apart from the function of radio broadcast reception, the apparatus receives, converts and transmits data (via the A2DP profile), which is a function covered by heading 8517 (see Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2224 (1)). Therefore, the apparatus cannot be considered to be combined with a sound-reproducing apparatus (function of heading 8519). The apparatus is therefore to be classified as a radio-broadcast receiver not combined with a sound-reproducing apparatus under CN code 8527 19 00.
