Frequently asked questions
I make commercial scales and weighbridges — do I fall under this code or under precision laboratory instruments?
Yes, household and commercial scales, weighbridges, platform scales, and industrial weighing machines belong here. The key criterion is the intended use: these are machines for weighing goods. Sensitive or precision laboratory balances are excluded from this code, as are tape measures and spirit levels, which fall under 28.29.92.
I manufacture automatic vending machines for snacks and drinks — is this the right manufacturing code, or should I look elsewhere?
Yes, manufacturers of automatic vending machines (machines for automatic sale and dispensing of goods) belong in 28.29.10, alongside manufacturers of weighing equipment. Be careful not to confuse this with operating or repairing vending machines — this code covers only the manufacture of the machine itself. Machines that dose and package a product on a production line are a different matter and fall under 28.29.30.
I don't manufacture vending machines — I install and repair them for third parties. Does this code still apply?
No, this code only covers manufacturers of the machine. If your activity consists of installing, restocking, and servicing other people's vending machines, you are in the technical-service sector, not manufacturing. Repair and maintenance of this type of machinery follows 33.12.59, while 28.29.10 remains for those who produce them.
My scales are parts-counting machines that count components by weight — do they still belong here or under production-line machinery?
Yes, they still belong in 28.29.10. The category expressly includes parts-counting or checking machines that operate by weight, in addition to scales and weighbridges. What matters is that the operating principle is weighing. If instead the machine fills, doses, and labels a product along the packaging line, the reference code is 28.29.30.
