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.
In a turbo-compressor, the vane wheel shaft is driven by an external motor and the air or the other gas to be pumped is set in motion by the vane wheel. Turbo-compressors may be single-stage or multi-stage, axial or radial. Simple two-stage compressors are used, for example, in vacuum cleaners.
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.
