1. 1. This Chapter does not cover: • (a) Millstones, grindstones or other articles of Chapter 68; • (b) Machinery or appliances (for example, pumps) of ceramic material and ceramic parts of machinery or appliances of any material (Chapter 69); • (c) Laboratory glassware (heading 70.17); machinery, appliances or other articles for technical uses or parts thereof, of glass (heading 70.19 or 70.20); • (d) Articles of heading 73.21 or 73.22 or similar articles of other base metals (Chapters...
2. 2. Subject to the operation of Note 3 to Section XVI and subject to Note 11 to this Chapter, a machine or appliance which answers to a description in one or more of the headings 84.01 to 84.24, or heading 84.86 and at the same time to a description in one or more of the headings 84.25 to 84.80 is to be classified under the appropriate heading of the former group or under heading 84.86, as the case may be, and not the latter group. • (A) heading 84.19 does not, however, cover:...
3. 3. A machine-tool for working any material which answers to a description in heading 84.56 and at the same time to a description in heading 84.57, 84.58, 84.59, 84.60, 84.61, 84.64 or 84.65 is to be classified in heading 84.56.
4. 4. Heading 84.57 applies only to machine-tools for working metal, other than lathes (including turning centres), which can carry out different types of machining operations either: • (a) by automatic tool change from a magazine or the like in conformity with a machining programme (machining centres), • (b) by the automatic use, simultaneously or sequentially, of different unit heads working on a fixed position workpiece (unit construction machines, single station), or • (c) by the...
5. 5. For the purposes of heading 84.62, a “slitting line” for flat products is a processing line composed of an uncoiler, a coil flattener, a slitter and a recoiler. A “cut-to-length line” for flat products is a processing line composed of an uncoiler, a coil flattener, and a shear
6. 6.(A) For the purposes of heading 84.71, the expression “automatic data processing machines” means machines capable of: • (i) Storing the processing program or programs and at least the data immediately necessary for the execution of the program; • (ii) Being freely programmed in accordance with the requirements of the user; • (iii) Performing arithmetical computations specified by the user; and, • (iv) Executing, without human intervention, a processing program which requires them to...
