(V) UNASSEMBLED MACHINES

(See General Interpretative Rule 2 (a))

For convenience of transport many machines and apparatus are transported in an unassembled state.
Although in effect the goods are then a collection of parts, they are classified as being the machine in
question and not in any separate heading for parts. The same applies to an incomplete machine having the
features of the complete machine (see Part (IV) above), presented unassembled (see also in this connection
the General Explanatory Notes to Chapters 84 and 85). However, unassembled components in excess of the
number required for a complete machine or for an incomplete machine having the characteristics of a
complete machine, are classified in their own appropriate heading.

G1.3 Instruments in HS 90 headings

The instruments or devices for measuring, checking, inspecting, etc., should be fallen into

HS Chapter 90. Even in this case, however, the instruments or devices could be a part of
the technological line if they would be connected to or in between the equipment in the
line. More details are given in the articles on the technological line.

However, it should be noted that monitors or computers that are not built into the techno-
logical line may be classified as the used information technology, which may be banned
from exporting to Vietnam under Decree No. 69/2018/ND-CP.

constitute non industrial demonstrational apparatus of heading 90.23 nor measuring, checking, etc., instru-
ments of Chapter 90. For example, small furnaces, distillation apparatus, grinders, mixers, electrical trans-
formers and capacitors, for use in laboratories, remain classified in this Section.
