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.
For the purposes of this heading, pumps and compressors also include motor pumps, turbopumps, motor compressors and turbo-compressors.
Only those goods displaying the characteristics described in the HS Explanatory Note to heading 8414, (B), and complying with the following conditions are considered to be fans for the purposes of these subheadings:
1. the air or gas pressure must not exceed 2 bar;
2. they must incorporate only one rotating surface (one stage).
Air compressors not satisfying the above conditions are classified in subheadings 8414 80 11 to 8414 80 80.
Centrifugal fans are those in which air or other gas to be moved is taken in axially and discharged radially.
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.
