         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 876/2014
   of 8 August 2014
   concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (2)

               Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific provisions of the Union, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.

               (3)

               Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex should be classified under the CN code indicated in column (2), by virtue of the reasons set out in column (3) of that table.

               (4)

               It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at three months.

               (5)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
   Article 2
   Binding tariff information which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
      Done at Brussels, 8 August 2014.

            For the Commission,

            On behalf of the President,

         Martine REICHERTS

            Member of the Commission

      (1)  OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1.

      (2)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1).

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A portable battery-operated apparatus for capturing and recording still and video images (so-called ‘action camera’) with dimensions of approximately 6 × 4 × 2 cm and a weight of approximately 74 g, comprising:

                              —

                              an ultra wide angle camera lens,

                              —

                              a liquid crystal device (LCD) status indicator,

                              —

                              micro USB and micro HDMI interfaces,

                              —

                              a slot for micro SD card,

                              —

                              built in WiFi,

                              —

                              a port for optional accessories.

                        The apparatus does not have a zoom, viewfinder or a screen for displaying recorded images. The apparatus is not designed to be held in the hand but to be mounted on, for example, a helmet. It is presented to be used for capturing dynamic impressions of the environment as experienced during outdoor activities such as biking, surfing and skiing. The video quality can be adjusted ranging from 848 × 480 to 1 920 × 1 080 pixels.
                  Still images can only be recorded in a 5,0 megapixel quality. The quality for still images (such as image sharpness, colour, object composition) cannot be adjusted on the apparatus.
                  The apparatus is capable of capturing and recording video files in MPEG4 format. The highest video recording is in a resolution of 1 920 x 1 080 pixels at 30 frames per second for a continuous period of maximum three hours with a fully charged battery. The capturing can only be stopped by the user. The captured images are recorded in separate files lasting approximately 15 minutes each.
                  Upon presentation files can be transferred to the apparatus from an automatic data-processing machine via the USB interface.

                  8525 80 99

                  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 8525, 8525 80 and 8525 80 99.
                  Given the objective characteristics of the apparatus, such as its small size and weight, the fact that it is to be mounted on, for example, a helmet, its capacity to record video for a continuous period of maximum 3 hours, the principal function of the camera is capturing video images.
                  Although the apparatus has the design of a digital camera, it is capable of recording video in a quality of at least 800 × 600 pixels at 30 frames per second for a continuous period of maximum 3 hours. The capturing is not automatically switched off after 30 minutes (see also the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature to subheadings 8525 80 30, 8525 80 91 and 8525 80 99). The fact that the captured images are recorded in separate files that last approximately 15 minutes each does not influence the duration of the continuous video recording capability of the camera. Classification under subheading 8525 80 30 as digital cameras is therefore excluded.
                  As the apparatus is capable of recording video files from sources other than the incorporated camera lens, classification under CN code 8525 80 91 as video camera recorders only able to record sound and images taken by the television camera is excluded.
                  The apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8525 80 99 as other video camera recorders.

      (2)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1).

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A product (so-called ‘radio-controlled socket set’) in a package containing two remote controlled switches and a remote control.
                  Each remote controlled switch is in an individual housing consisting of a plug, a socket, a learning button, a switch and a radio receiver and is designed for a voltage of 230 V and a maximum current of 10 A.
                  The learning button is used for identification between the switch and the remote control. It can also be used as a manual switch.
                  The remote control works within a transmission frequency range of 433,05 - 434,79 MHz over a distance of approximately 30 m and controls both switches independently of each other.
                  The product is used for switching on and off, by remote control, equipment connected to the sockets.

                  8536 50 80

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8536, 8536 50 and 8536 50 80.
                  The remote control controls the switches independently of each other. Consequently, the product cannot be considered as a functional unit within the meaning of note 4 to Section XVI as the individual components do not contribute together to a clearly defined function.
                  Given its objective characteristics, the function of the product is switching on and off, by remote control, the equipment connected to the sockets. Classification under heading 8526 as radio remote control apparatus is therefore excluded.
                  As the product is used as remote controlled switches, the plug and the socket are considered inherent components needed for its operation. Consequently, classification under subheading 8536 69 90 as plugs and sockets is excluded.
                  The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 8536 50 80 as other switches for a voltage exceeding 60 V.

               The approval of the active substance pyraflufen-ethyl, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (2), expires on 30 June 2016.

               (2)

               An application for the renewal of the inclusion of pyraflufen-ethyl in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3) was submitted in accordance with Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1141/2010 (4) within the time period provided for in that Article.

               (3)

               The applicant submitted the supplementary dossiers required in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 1141/2010. The application was found to be complete by the rapporteur Member State.

               (4)

               The rapporteur Member State prepared a renewal assessment report in consultation with the co-rapporteur Member State and submitted it to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and the Commission on 10 January 2014.

               (5)

               The Authority communicated the renewal assessment report to the applicant and to the Member States for comments and forwarded the comments received to the Commission. The Authority also made the supplementary summary dossier available to the public.

               (6)

               On 22 January 2015 (5) the Authority communicated to the Commission its conclusion on whether pyraflufen-ethyl can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The Commission presented the draft review report for pyraflufen-ethyl to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 13 July 2015.

               (7)

               It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing the active substance that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied. Those approval criteria are therefore deemed to be satisfied.

               (8)

               The risk assessment for the renewal of the approval of pyraflufen-ethyl is based on a limited number of representative uses, which however do not restrict the uses for which plant protection products containing pyraflufen-ethyl may be authorised. It is therefore appropriate not to maintain the restriction to uses as a herbicide.

               (9)

               It is therefore appropriate to renew the approval of pyraflufen-ethyl.

               (10)

               In accordance with Article 20(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in conjunction with Article 13(4) thereof, the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should be amended accordingly.

               (11)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1885 (6) extended the expiry date of pyraflufen-ethyl to 30 June 2016 in order to allow the renewal process to be completed before the expiry of the approval of that substance. Given that a decision on renewal has been taken ahead of this extended expiry date, this Regulation shall apply from 1 April 2016.

               (12)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/663
   of 26 April 2016
   concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (2)

               Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific provisions of the Union, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.

               (3)

               Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex should be classified under the CN code indicated in column (2), by virtue of the reasons set out in column (3) of that table.

               (4)

               It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at three months.

               (5)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
   Article 2
   Binding tariff information which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
      Done at Brussels, 26 April 2016.

            For the Commission,

            On behalf of the President,

            Director-General for Taxation and Customs Union

      (1)  OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1.

      (2)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1).

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN-code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  An electronic machine functioning as an audio interface or a sound mixer (so-called ‘mixer-converter analogue/digital pre-amplifier device’), with dimensions of approximately 48 × 18 × 9 cm. It consists of sound and effects processors, an analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue converter and a microphone amplifier, in a housing with operating and display elements and various analogue, optical and digital inputs and outputs as well as FireWire ports.
                  It has the following main technical features:

                              —

                              hybrid FireWire/USB2 connectivity (capability to be connected to an automatic data-processing (ADP) machine),

                              —

                              28-input mixer with digital signal processing effects;

                              —

                              special mixing software,

                              —

                              separate front-panel headphone jacks, each with independent volume control, and

                              —

                              front panel LED status clock.

                        The machine is designed for use in digital music productions in sound studios or live on stage. It can operate in two modes: in conjunction with an ADP machine or in a stand-alone mode.
                  When the machine is used in conjunction with an ADP machine, it serves for converting and processing audio signals supplied from external audio sources and for the pre-amplification of microphone signals. In stand-alone mode, the machine can be used as a mixer with integrated effects.

                  8543 70 90

                  Classification 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 CN codes 8543 , 8543 70  and 8543 70 90 .
                  As the machine performs a specific function other than data processing (sound pre-amplification and mixing) it is to be classified in the heading appropriate to its respective function or, failing that, in a residual heading.
                  The function of the machine is not covered more specifically by any heading of Chapter 85. The machine is to be considered a mixing unit covered by heading 8543  (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 8543 , fourth paragraph, (4)).
                  The machine is therefore to be classified under CN code 8543 70 90  as other machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/200
   of 1 February 2017
   concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 57(4) and Article 58(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (2), it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (2)

               Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific provisions of the Union, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.

               (3)

               Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex should be classified under the CN code indicated in column (2), by virtue of the reasons set out in column (3) of that table.

               (4)

               It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 34(9) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013. That period should be set at three months.

               (5)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
   Article 2
   Binding tariff information which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 34(9) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
      Done at Brussels, 1 February 2017.

            For the Commission,

            On behalf of the President,

         Stephen QUEST

            Director-General

            Directorate-General for Taxation and Customs Union

      (1)  OJ L 269, 10.10.2013, p. 1.

      (2)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1).

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN-code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  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.

                  8527 19 00

                  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 .
