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. |
8527 29 00 |
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. |
