1. For the purposes of subheadings 840710 and 840910, the expression ‘aircraft engines’ shall apply only to engines designed for fitting with an airscrew or rotor.
2. Subheading 84717030 shall also apply to CD-ROM drives, being storage units for automatic data-processing machines, which consist of drive units designed for retrieving the signals from CD-ROMs, audio CDs and photo CDs and equipped with a jack for earphones, a volume-control button or a start/stop button.
The European Commission's explanatory notes on how to classify goods in these CN codes. They are not legally binding but customs authorities follow them; they complement the HS Explanatory Notes of the World Customs Organization.
In addition to the exclusions referred to in the HS Explanatory Note to heading 8409, the following are also excluded from this heading:
(a) piping and tubing, of unhardened vulcanised rubber (heading 4009);
(b) flexible tubing and piping, of base metal (heading 8307);
(c) gaskets and similar joints (generally, classified according to their constituent material or in heading 8484).
This subheading does not include exhaust-gas turbochargers used to compress the atmospheric air needed for combustion in order to boost the power of internal-combustion piston engines. As turbine-driven air compressors driven by an exhaust-gas turbine, they fall in heading 8414.
General
For the purposes of subheadings 8407 34 10, 8407 90 50 and 8408 20 10, ‘for the industrial assembly’ applies only to the series-assembly of new vehicles in factories which manufacture or assemble motor vehicles (including subcontractors).
These subheadings can be applied only to engines actually used in the production of new vehicles of the kinds referred to in the subheadings. Consequently, they do not cover similar engines used as spare parts.
