Unassembled elevator components did not acquire the essential character of complete lifts under Rule 2(a) because several installation and operation items, including guiderails, structural frames, enclosures and balance weights, were not imported and had to be sourced locally. The imported goods could not independently perform vertical transportation, and further integration in India was required beyond mere assembly. As a result, classification under Tariff Item 84281011 was rejected. The components were then classified individually under their own headings where specifically covered, and the remaining elevator-specific items were treated as parts of elevators under heading 8431, more specifically 84313910, where no more specific heading applied.
