Apart from shavers and hair clippers, Heading No. 85.06/07 is to be taken to apply only to the following electro-mechanical machines of type's commonly used for domestic purposes: (a) vacuum cleaners, floor polishers, food grinders and mixers, fruit juice extractors and fans, of any weight; (b)other machines, provided the weight of such other machines does not exceed 20 kilograms. The Heading does not, however, apply to dish washing machines (Heading No. 84.19), centrifugal and other clothes washing machines (Heading No. 84.08 or 84.40), roller and other ironing machines (Heading No. 84.16 or 84.40), sewing machines (Heading No. 84.41) or to electro-thermic appliances (Heading No. 85.12). 4. In Heading No. 85.18/27,"printed circuits" are to be taken to be circuits obtained by forming on an insulating base, by any printing process (for example, embossing, plating-up etching)or by the "film circuit" technique, conductor elements, contacts or other printed components (for example, inductances, resistors, capacitors) alone or interconnected according to a pre-established pattern, other than elements which can produce, rectify, modulate or amplify an electrical signal (for example, semi-conductor elements). The term "printed circuits" does not cover circuits combined with elements other than those obtained during the printing process. Printed circuits may, however, be fitted with non-printed connecting elements. Thin-or thick-film circuits comprising passive and active elements obtained during the same technological process are to be classified in Heading No. 85.18/27. 5. In Heading No. 85.18/27 : (A) "Diodes, transistors and similar semi-conductor devices" are to be taken to be those devices the operation of which depends on variations in resistivity on the application of an electric field; (B) "Electronic micro-circuits" are to be taken to be: (a) micro assemblies of the "fagot" module, moulded module, micromodule and similar types; consisting of discrete, active or both active and passive miniaturised components which are combined and inter-connected; (b) monolithic integrated circuits in which the circuit elements (diodes, transistors, resistors, capacitors, inter- connections, etc.) are created in the mass (essentially) and on the surface of a semi-conductor material (doped silicon, for example) and are inseparably associated; (c) hybrid integrated circuits in which passive and active elements, some obtained by thin-or thick film technology (resistors, capacitors, inter-connections, etc.) others by semi-conductor technology (diodes, transistors, monolithic integrated circuits, etc.), are combined, to all intents and purposes indivisibly, on a single insulating substrate (glass, ceramic, etc.). These circuits may also include miniaturised discrete components. For the classification of the articles defined in this Note, Heading No. 85.18/27 shall take precedence over any other heading in the Schedule which might cover them by reference to, in particular, their function. 117 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Heading Subheading No. and description of Rate of duty No. article ------------ Duration Standard 1*** when rates 2[Preferential of duty Areas are prot- etctive -----------------------------------------------------------------------
