An apparatus combining a colour monitor of the liquid crystal display (LCD) type and a touch-sensitive surface (so-called ‘monitor with touch screen’) with a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 38 cm (15 inches) with:
It is equipped with the following interfaces:
It has a stand with a tilt and swivel mechanism and a glare free surface. The monitor is presented for use, for example, in point of sale/customer information point terminals. The touch-sensitive surface enables the users to input data into these terminals. The monitor is capable of displaying signals from ADP machines. |
8528 51 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 8528 and 8528 51 00. The apparatus is a composite machine performing the function of an X-Y coordinate input device of heading 8471 and of a monitor of heading 8528. Apart from displaying information, the apparatus enables users to input data. Given the design, concept and objective characteristics of the apparatus, namely the monitors’ ability to perform its function independently of the input device, the displaying function constitutes the apparatus’ principal function within the meaning of note 3 to Section XVI. Given its objective characteristics, such as the aspect ratio, the pixel pitch suitable for prolonged close viewing, the brightness, the interfaces commonly used in ADP systems, the tilt and swivel mechanisms and glare free surface, the monitor is considered to be of a kind solely or principally used in an ADP system of heading 8471. The apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 8528 51 00 as other monitors of a kind solely or principally used in an automatic data-processing system of heading 8471. |
