Firstly, heading 8473, in so far as it concerns parts and accessories suitable for use solely or principally with machines of headings 8469 to 8472 of the Combined Nomenclature, is a generic heading. Secondly, it is apparent from the wording of note 2(b) to Section XVI of the Combined Nomenclature that, on the one hand, it applies only to parts of machines which are not suitable for classification under note 2(a) since they do not constitute individual goods coming, as such, under specific headings of Chapter 84 or Chapter 85 of the Combined Nomenclature and, on the other, that note, which lays down a classification rule based on the intended use of the parts of a machine in question, expressly permits the classification of such parts under heading 8473 of the Combined Nomenclature.
