This heading covers dish washing machines (for plates glasses spoons forks etc.) whether or not incorporating provision for drying including electrically-operated types whether or not domestic. The heading also covers machines of different types designed for cleaning or drying bottles or other containers for filling or closing such containers (including machines for aerating beverages) and generally for packing (including heat-shrink wrapping) goods for sale transport or storage. These include :

(1) Machines (whether or not steam-operated) for cleaning washing rinsing or drying bottles jars cans boxes casks milk churns cream separator bowls or other containers. These machines sometimes incorporate provision for disinfection or sterilisation.

(2) Machines for filling containers (e.g. casks barrels cans bottles jars tubes ampoules boxes packets or bags) frequently equipped with subsidiary automatic volume or weight control and with devices for closing the containers.

(3) Machines for aerating beverages. These are in effect bottle filling and closing machines with provision for supplying carbon dioxide gas simultaneously with the liquid.

(4) Bottle or jar closing corking or capping machines; can closers and sealers (including those closing by soldering).

(5) Wrapping or cartoning machines including those with provision for forming printing tying stapling taping glueing closing or otherwise finishing the packing. The heading includes machines for packing filled cans or bottles into external containers (crates boxes etc.).

(6) Labelling machines including those which also print cut and gum the labels.

(7) Baling or banding machines including hand-operated portable appliances provided with plates or similar devices enabling them to be rested while in use on the bales cases or other packages to be strapped. Machines of this heading frequently perform several of the foregoing functions. They may also incorporate provision for filling or sealing in vacuo or under other controlled atmospheric conditions. Machines which in addition to packing wrapping etc. also perform other operations remain classified in the heading provided the additional operations are incidental to the packing etc. Thus machines which pack or wrap goods into the forms or presentations in which they are normally distributed and sold in commerce are classified in this heading whether or not the machines also contain devices for weighing or measuring. Similarly the heading includes machines incorporating devices which as a secondary function cut mould or press previously prepared products into purely presentational forms without affecting their essential character (e.g. machines for moulding butter or margarine into blocks etc. and wrapping them). The heading does not however cover machines whose primary function is not to pack wrap etc. but to manufacture raw or semi-finished materials into finished products (e.g. combined cigarette making and packaging machines).

PARTS

Subject to the general provisions regarding the classification of parts (see the General Explanatory Note to Section XVI) the heading also covers parts of the above- mentioned machinery. It should be noted however that in the case of composite machines parts of any component machine which would not on its own fall in thisheading are classified in their own appropriate headings e.g. parts of weighing machines (heading 84.23) of carton or paper bag making machines (heading 84.41) or of printing machines (heading 84.43).

** *

The heading excludes :

(a)Domestic type bottling or canning machines and other domestic mechanical appliances weighing 10 kg or less (heading 82.10).

(b)Straw or fodder balers (heading 84.33).

(c)Paper bag or carton making machines (heading 84.41).

(d)Sewing machines for sewing up sacks etc. after filling (heading 84.52).

(e)Presses for compressing scrap metal into bales etc. (heading 84.62).

(f)Case nailing machines (heading 84.65).

(g)Machines for inserting letters in envelopes or for wrapping them with paper bands (heading 84.72).
