Glow Plug Control Units regulating heating current to diesel-engine glow plugs are classifiable under CTH 8511 as electrical ignition or starting equipment. Chapter 90 excludes electrical circuit-control apparatus more specifically covered by Chapter 85, while CTH 8537 requires a board, panel or similar base with two or more control apparatus, which a single electronic module did not satisfy. Applying GIR 1, Section XVI functional-unit notes and HSN guidance, the unit and glow plugs form a functional system assisting engine ignition; the normal-period demand was sustained. Earlier clearance of identical imports under the declared classification negated suppression or intent to evade, so the extended-period demand and penalty were set aside.
