An article made of hot rolled non-alloy steel with a coating made of nickel silver alloy. It is presented in the shape of a round cap (diameter 2,7 cm) with slightly lowered centre, turned down into a hole, with small air gaps inside the turned down part. The cap is connected to a hollow threaded shank (diameter 0,5 cm). The total length of the article is 2,5 cm. The article is designed to be used as a tuning element in a specific bandpass filter (the bandpass filter is used in cellular network base stations to transmit signals of certain frequencies) filtering out the upper and lower frequencies, by screwing it into the bandpass filter chassis. It is an essential part in the process of tuning. In the tuning process the round cap acts as a resonator. In case of any damage to the surface of this round cap there will be a distortion of the radio frequency waves. See imagea. | 8517 70 00 | Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2(b) to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8517 and 8517 70 00. As the function of the article is not to assemble or fasten goods it cannot be classified as a screw or as a bolt. Consequently, it cannot be considered a part of general use as referred to in Note 2 to Section XV. Therefore, classification under heading 7318 is excluded. The article is a part of cellular network base stations within the meaning of Note 2(b) to Section XVI as it is essential for their operation, due to the article's specific design and dimensions, and cannot be used for other purposes (see case C-152/10 Unomedical ECLI:EU:C:2011:402, paragraph 29). Consequently, the article is to be classified under CN code 8517 70 00 as a part of an apparatus for the transmission or reception of voice, images or other data in a wirelesss network. |
