Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8414 , 8414 10 and 8414 10 89 .

Classification under heading 8509 as electromechanical domestic appliances is excluded as the product is not of a kind commonly used for domestic purposes (see Note 3 to Chapter 85).

The product is a pump and it is therefore to be classified under CN code 8414 10 89 .
