A machine for use with lifts, with dimensions of approximately 83 × 70 × 30 cm and a weight of 418 kg (so-called ‘gearless traction machine’), consisting of:
The machine is installed in a lift shaft for lifting and lowering the cabin. |
8425 31 00 |
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2(a) to Section XVI and the wording of CN codes 8425 and 8425 31 00 . The machine consists of an electric motor and a pulley on the shaft of the motor. Given its characteristics, it is to be considered to be a winch of heading 8425 . The presence of a braking system or the absence of a cable or belt does not exclude classification as a winch (see also the HS classification opinion 8425.31/1). The presence of the safety monitoring system does not alter the characteristics of a winch. Classification as a part of a lift under heading 8431 is therefore excluded. The machine is therefore to be classified under CN code 8425 31 00 as a winch powered by an electric motor. |
