This heading covers dish washing machines (for plates, glasses, spoons, forks, etc.), whether or not equipped with drying devices, including electric machines of the household or non-household type. The heading also covers various types of machinery for washing or drying bottles or other containers, for filling and closing such vessels (including machinery for aerating beverages) and, in general, for packing goods (including with heat-shrinking of the packing material) for trade, transport or storage. They include: (1) Machinery (whether or not using steam) for cleaning, washing, rinsing or drying bottles, jugs, jars, boxes, canisters, churns, cream separator bowls or other containers. These machines are sometimes fitted with disinfecting or sterilising devices. (2) Machinery for filling containers (e.g., kegs, barrels, jars, bottles, jugs, tubes, ampoules, boxes, bags or sacks), often fitted with auxiliary devices for controlling volume or weight, and also with devices for closing the containers themselves. (3) Machinery for closing bottles or for stoppering them with corks or caps; machinery for closing and sealing cans (including sealing by soldering). (4) Machinery for wrapping articles or packing them in cartons, including those types which provide for forming, printing, tying, stapling, capping, gluing, closing and other operations completing the packing. The heading covers machines for packing filled cans or bottles into outer containers (boxes, crates, etc.).

(5) Labelling machinery, including types which also print, cut and apply the labels. (6) Machinery for aerating beverages. These are in practice machines for filling and closing bottles, which introduce carbon dioxide at the same time as the liquid. (7) Baling or strapping machines, including hand-held portable appliances, having supports or similar fittings which enable them to be placed during operation on the bales, cases or other packages to be tied. The machinery of this heading is often used to carry out several of the operations mentioned. It may also incorporate equipment for filling or sealing under vacuum or under other controlled conditions. Machines which, in addition to packing, wrapping, etc., perform other operations fall in this heading provided that the additional operations are subsidiary to the packing, etc., operations. Thus, machines which pack and wrap goods in the form in which they are put on the market and sold fall in this heading whether or not they incorporate weighing or measuring devices. This heading also covers machines which carry out such subsidiary operations as cutting, shaping or pressing already finished products in order to give them a marketable form without affecting their essential character (e.g., shaping butter and margarine into blocks, etc., and wrapping them). This heading excludes machines designed primarily not for packing, wrapping, etc., but for processing raw materials or semi-finished products into finished products (e.g., combined machines for making and packing cigarettes). PARTS Subject to the general provisions regarding the classification of parts (see the General Explanatory Note to Section XVI), this heading also covers parts of the machinery described above. It should be noted, however, that in the case of combined machines, the parts of each constituent unit which is not itself covered by this heading are classified in the headings appropriate to those units, e.g., parts of weighing machinery (heading 8423), parts of machines for making paper or paperboard bags (heading 8441) or parts of printing machines (heading 8443). This heading excludes: (a) domestic bottling or can-sealing appliances and other domestic mechanical appliances weighing 10 kg or less (heading 8210); (b) pick-up balers (heading 8433); (c) machinery for making paper bags or paperboard boxes (heading 8441); (d) sewing machines for closing sacks after filling (heading 8452); (e) presses for baling scrap metal, etc. (heading 8462); (f) machines for nailing boxes (heading 8465); (g) machines for inserting letters in envelopes or for banding them with paper strips (heading 8472). Subheading Explanatory Note. Subheading 8422 11

This subheading covers household dishwashers regardless of their intended use and regardless of whether they are powered. The external overall dimensions of such machines installed on the floor are as follows: - width up to 65 cm; - height up to 95 cm; - length up to 70 cm. The overall dimensions of machines and devices intended for installation on a table or counter are much smaller.
