Regulatory notes

NENC84602400

Other, numerically controlled This subheading includes universal grinding machines. These are a combination of external and internal grinding machines and can therefore work simultaneously on both the external and internal diameters of a workpiece.

NENC84608460 12 00 and 8460 19 00

Machine tools for deburring, sharpening, grinding, honing, lapping, polishing or otherwise finishing metal or cermets by means of grinding stones, abrasives or polishing products, other than gear cutting, gear grinding or gear finishing machines of heading 8461 Flat-surface grinding machines These subheadings include the flat-surface grinding machines referred to in the HS Explanatory Note to heading 8460 , third paragraph, (3). These machines are equipped with measuring or setting devices. These devices include: 1. direct reading linear instruments, for example, slide rules and verniers, on which the space between two successive graduations corresponds to a movement of an element of the machine not exceeding 1/100th mm (0,01 mm); 2. profile projectors for checking work in progress. These projectors consist of a graduated ground-glass screen on which a greatly enlarged image of the article and tool is projected so that any travel of the article or tool, as well as the progress of the working process, can be assessed by reference to the graduations on the screen. The work can also be checked by placing on the screen a drawing of the article to be obtained traced on a transparent sheet on a scale corresponding to the magnification factor of the profile projectors; in this case, the machine operator's task is to make the image on the article coincide with the drawing seen on the screen; 3. devices limiting the travel of the tool holder or workpiece holder by means of an adjustable device whose positioning is controlled by means of a slip gauge; 4. electronic checking and control devices for honing and lapping machines which are adjusted by means of a graduated scale on the actual final dimensions of the article and which allow the tool to be slowed down and stopped when the dimensions of the article approach and attain the previously determined dimensions. 8460 22 00 to 8460 29 90 Other grinding machines See the explanatory note to subheadings 8460 12 00 and 8460 19 00 .

Collection of parts: Where a change in classification results from the application of HS General Interpretative Rule 2(a) with respect to collections of parts that are presented as unassembled articles of another heading or subheading the individual parts shall retain their origin prior to such collection Note 2: Assembly of the collection of parts: Goods assembled from a collection of parts classified as the assembled good by application of General Interpretative Rule 2 shall have origin in the country of assembly, provided the assembly would have satisfied the primary rule for the good had each of the parts been presented separately and not as a collection Note 3: Disassembly of goods: A change of classification which results from the disassembly of goods shall not be considered as the change required by the rule set forth in the table of "list rules" .The country of origin of the parts recovered from the goods shall be the country where the parts are recovered, unless the importer, exporter or any person with a justifiable cause to determine the origin of parts demonstrates another country of origin on the basis of verifiable evidence.

Receveur principal des douanes de Roissy Sud and Others v Rohm & Haas Electronic Materials CMP Europe GmbH and Others

On those grounds, the Court (Eighth Chamber) hereby rules: The Combined Nomenclature in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff, in the successive versions of the following regulations, amending Annex I to Regulation No 2658/87: Commission Regulations (EC) No 1789/2003 of 11 September 2003; No 1810/2004 of 7 September 2004; No 1719/2005 of 27 October 2005; and No 1549/2006 of 17 October 2006, must be interpreted as meaning that polishing pads intended for a polishing machine for working semiconductor materials — as such coming under tariff heading 8464 (or heading 8486 from 1 January 2007) — imported separately from the machine, in the form of discs perforated in the centre, made up of a hard polyurethane layer, a layer of polyurethane foam, an adhesive layer and a protective plastic film, which do not contain any metal part or any abrasive substance and are used to polish ‘wafers’, in combination with an abrasive liquid, and must be replaced at a frequency determined by their level of wear, come under subheading 3919 90 10, as self-adhesive flat shapes, other than squares or rectangles, made of plastic.
