(5) Snow purifiers are plow and rotary with built-in equipment; that is, cars designed exclusively for snow removal and usually equipped with turbines, rotating blades, etc., with drive either from the car engine or from a separate engine. In all cases, interchangeable plow or rotary snow blowers of all types are not included in this heading (heading 8430), whether or not they are mounted on a motor vehicle. (6) Trucks-distributors of all kinds, equipped with heating equipment or not, as well as equipment for the distribution of tar or gravel, for agricultural purposes, etc. (7) Cranes, not intended for the carriage of goods, consisting of an automobile chassis on which the cab and the rotary crane are permanently mounted.

(9) Trucks equipped with stack-layers (i.e., a movable platform on a vertical base, which, as a rule, is driven by the engine of the car). However, this heading does not include self-loading motor vehicles equipped with winches, lifting devices, etc., but intended mainly for the carriage of goods (heading 8704). (10) Concrete mixers consisting of a cab and an automobile chassis on which a concrete mixer adapted both for the manufacture and transportation of concrete is permanently mounted.

(21) Workshop vehicles equipped with various machine-tools and hand tools, welding appliances, etc. (22) Mobile banks, mobile libraries and mobile showrooms for the display of goods. The heading also excludes: (a) self-propelled road rollers (heading 8429); (b) agricultural rollers (heading 8432); (c) small mobile appliances, pedestrian-controlled and equipped with an auxiliary motor (e.g., appliances for sweeping parks, squares, etc., and appliances for applying road markings) (heading 8479); (d) vehicles equipped for habitation (heading 8703). MOTOR VEHICLE CHASSIS OR LORRIES WITH WORKING EQUIPMENT It should be noted that, to fall in this heading, a vehicle fitted with lifting or handling equipment, levelling, excavating or boring equipment, etc., must in fact constitute an essentially complete motor vehicle chassis or lorry, i.e., it must comprise at least the following mechanical features: propelling engine, gear box and controls for gear-changing, and steering and braking facilities. On the other hand, self-propelled machines (e.g., cranes, excavators) in which one or more of the propelling or central control elements listed above are located in the cab of the working machine mounted on a wheeled or tracked chassis, whether or not the machine as a whole is capable of moving on the road under its own power, are classified, for example, in heading 8426, 8429 or 8430. Similarly, this heading excludes self-propelled wheeled machines in which the chassis and the working equipment are specially adapted to each other and form an integral mechanical unit (e.g., self-propelled motor graders). In this case the equipment is not simply mounted on a motor vehicle chassis, but is completely integrated with it; the chassis cannot be used for other purposes and may have the essential characteristics of a motor vehicle indicated above.

It should be noted, however, that self-propelled snow-ploughs or snow-clearing vehicles with built-in equipment are always classified in this heading. Subheading Explanatory Note. Subheading 8705 10 See the Explanatory Note to heading 8705, Item (7).
