Classification of evaporative air coolers: treated as miscellaneous mechanical appliances, attracting the applicable excise tariff. Evaporative coolers lack the required temperature-changing elements and only increase humidity; therefore they do not qualify as air conditioning machines and should be classified under the miscellaneous machines tariff provision covering individual-function mechanical appliances. Their component parts not specified elsewhere are similarly classifiable, and such goods attract the standard excise duty applicable to that miscellaneous tariff provision.
