This heading covers non-electric mechanical appliances, usually hand-operated, weighing not more than 10 kg and used for preparing, conditioning or serving food or drink. Appliances of this heading are regarded as mechanical if they have mechanisms such as cranks, gearing, worm screws, pumps, etc.; however, a simple lever or plunger is not in itself regarded as a mechanical device and does not qualify for this heading, unless the appliance is fixed to a wall or other surface or has a base plate, etc., for standing on a table, the floor, etc. Accordingly, this heading covers appliances which would fall either in heading 8205 or in Chapter 84 if they did not meet the following conditions: (1) they weigh 10 kg or less; (2) they have the mechanical features mentioned above. The following are examples of articles which fall in this heading provided that they meet the above criteria: coffee or spice mills; vegetable grinders and mashers; mincers and meat slicers; meat tenderisers; cheese graters, etc.; slicers and cutters for vegetables or fruit and potato peelers, including potato chippers; bread slicers; macaroni or spaghetti cutters; fruit stoners (other than spring-loaded stoners operated solely by hand); bottle openers and cappers; mechanical can openers (other than simple can openers of heading 8205); preserving appliances; butter churns; ice-cream makers and dispensers; whisks and mixers for eggs, cream or mayonnaise; fruit or meat juice extractors; ice crushers.
