Chapter 85

Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof;

sound recorders and reproducers,
television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and
parts and accessories of such articles
Notes.
1.- This Chapter does not cover :
(a) Electrically warmed blankets, bed pads, foot-muffs or the like; electrically
warmed clothing, footwear or ear pads or other electrically warmed articles
worn on or about the person;
(b) Articles of glass of heading 70.11;
(c) Machines and apparatus of heading 84.86;
(d) Vacuum apparatus of a kind used in medical, surgical, dental or veterinary
purposes (Chapter 90); or
(e) Electrically heated furniture of Chapter 94.
2.- Headings 85.01 to 85.04 do not apply to goods described in heading 85.11, 85.12,
85.40, 85.41 or 85.42.
However, metal tank mercury arc rectifiers remain classified in heading 85.04.
3.- Heading 85.09 covers only the following electro-mechanical machines of the kind
commonly used for domestic purposes :
(a) Floor polishers, food grinders and mixers, and fruit or vegetable juice
extractors, of any weight;
(b) Other machines provided the weight of such machines does not exceed 20 kg.
The heading does not, however, apply to fans or ventilating or recycling hoods
incorporating a fan, whether or not fitted with filters (heading 84.14), centrifugal
clothes-dryers (heading 84.21), dish washing machines (heading 84.22),
household washing machines (heading 84.50), roller or other ironing machines
(heading 84.20 or 84.51), sewing machines (heading 84.52), electric scissors
(heading 84.67) or to electro-thermic appliances (heading 85.16).
4.- For the purposes of heading 85.23 :
(a) Solid-state non-volatile storage devices (for example, flash memory cards
or flash electronic storage cards) are storage devices with a connecting
socket, comprising in the same housing one or more flash memories (for
example, FLASH EPROM) in the form of integrated circuits mounted on a
printed circuit board. They may include a controller in the form of an
integrated circuit and discrete passive components, such as capacitors and
resistors;
(b) The term smart cards means cards which have embedded in them one or
more electronic integrated circuits (a microprocessor, random access memory
(RAM) or read-only memory (ROM)) in the form of chips. These cards may
contain contacts, a magnetic stripe or an embedded antenna but do not contain
any other active or passive circuit elements.
5.- For the purposes of heading 85.34 printed circuits are circuits obtained by
forming on an insulating base, by any printing process (for example, embossing,
plating-up, etching) or by the film circuit technique, conductor elements,
contacts or other printed components (for example, inductances, resistors,
capacitors) alone or interconnected according to a pre-established pattern, other
358

than elements which can produce, rectify, modulate or amplify an electrical signal
(for example, semiconductor elements).
The expression printed circuits does not cover circuits combined with
elements other than those obtained during the printing process, nor does it cover
individual, discrete resistors, capacitors or inductances. Printed circuits may,
however, be fitted with non-printed connecting elements.
Thin- or thick-film circuits comprising passive and active elements obtained
during the same technological process are to be classified in heading 85.42.
6.- For the purpose of heading 85.36, connectors for optical fibres, optical fibre
bundles or cables means connectors that simply mechanically align optical fibres
end to end in a digital line system. They perform no other function, such as the
amplification, regeneration or modification of a signal.
7.- Heading 85.37 does not include cordless infrared devices for the remote control of
television receivers or other electrical equipment (heading 85.43).
8.- For the purposes of headings 85.41 and 85.42 :
(a) Diodes, transistors and similar semiconductor devices are semiconductor
devices the operation of which depends on variations in resistivity on the
application of an electric field;
(b) Electronic integrated circuits are :
(i) Monolithic integrated circuits in which the circuit elements (diodes,
transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductances, etc.) are created in the mass
(essentially) and on the surface of a semiconductor or compound
semiconductor material (for example, doped silicon, gallium arsenide,
silicon germanium, indium phosphide) and are inseparably associated;
(ii) Hybrid integrated circuits in which passive elements (resistors, capacitors,
inductances, etc.), obtained by thin- or thick-film technology, and active
elements (diodes, transistors, monolithic integrated circuits, etc.), obtained
by semiconductor technology, are combined to all intents and purposes
indivisibly, by interconnections or interconnecting cables, on a single
insulating substrate (glass, ceramic, etc.). These circuits may also include
discrete components;
(iii)Multichip integrated circuits consisting of two or more interconnected
monolithic integrated circuits combined to all intents and purposes
indivisibly, whether or not on one or more insulating substrates, with or
without leadframes, but with no other active or passive circuit elements.
For the classification of the articles defined in this Note, headings 85.41 and
85.42 shall take precedence over any other heading in the Nomenclature, except in
the case of heading 85.23, which might cover them by reference to, in particular,
their function.
9.- For the purposes of heading 85.48, spent primary cells, spent primary batteries
and spent electric accumulators are those which are neither usable as such
because of breakage, cutting-up, wear or other reasons, nor capable of being
recharged.
Subheading Note.
1.- Subheading 8527.12 covers only cassette-players with built-in amplifier, without
built-in loudspeaker, capable of operating without an external source of electric
power and the dimensions of which do not exceed 170 mm x 100 mm x 45 mm.
