BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.

Classification scope of subheading 8479 40

Subheading 8479 40 of the Combined Nomenclature covers rope or cable-making machines. This includes wire stranding machines, braiding machines, steel cable production machines, synthetic and natural fibre rope machines, rope coiling machines and specialised equipment for mining and marine ropes. This subheading must be distinguished from electrical cable machines (8479 89 or Chapter 85) and textile machines (headings 8444-8449). The key criterion is the machine being intended for producing mechanical ropes and cables (not electrical). GRI Rules 1 and 6 form the basis.
