That effect is the result of the rotation of the shaft of the motor due to the presence of a non-symmetric mass attached to the shaft.For mounting purposes the article is provided with self-adhesive tape on one side.See the imagenote. | 84798997 | Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8479, 847989 and 84798997.As the function of the article is to create vibration, classification under heading 8501 as an electric motor is excluded (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 8501, group (II), eighth paragraph (b)).The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 84798997 as other machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere. |
