8419 89 98

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2 to Chapter 84 and by the wording of CN codes 8419, 8419 89 and 8419 89 98.

As the machine is designed for use by craftsmen and is not of a kind normally used in households, classification under heading 8516 as an electrothermic appliance of a kind used for domestic purposes is excluded.

The machine corresponds to the descriptions of both headings 8419 and 8467. In accordance with Note 2 to Chapter 84, classification under heading 8467 as a tool for working in the hand with self-contained electric motor is excluded.

The machine is therefore to be classified under CN code 8419 89 98 as machinery for the treatment of materials by a process involving a change of temperature.
