The Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 457/2014 of 29 April 2014 concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature was published in the Official Journal of the European Union L 133 of 6 May 2014.

The regulation concerns the classification of an apparatus with four High-Definition Multimedia Interfaces (HDMI) inputs and one HDMI output (so-called ‘passive HDMI switch'). It incorporates a so-called ‘multi-station push button switch' with four push buttons (one per input) which are rigidly attached to each other. The apparatus is used for selecting one HDMI input to be connected to the HDMI output. It allows the selection of HDMI signals originating from different sources (for example, a DVD player, a set-top box) to be connected to one apparatus, for example, a television set.
