84.76 ‑ Automatic goods‑vending machines (for example, postage stamp, cigarette, food or beverage machines), including money‑changing machines
This heading covers the various kinds of machines which supply some kind of merchandise when one or more coins, tokens or a magnetic card are put in a slot (other than those machines covered more specifically by other headings of the Nomenclature or excluded from the Chapter by a Chapter or Section Note). The term "vending" in the context of this heading refers to a "monetary" exchange between the purchaser and the machine in order to acquire a product.

Automatic hot or cold beverage-dispensing machines without a device to accept payment are excluded (heading 84.19).
The heading covers not only machines in which the distribution is automatic, but also those consisting of a number of compartments from which the merchandise can be withdrawn after the coin has been inserted, the machine incorporating a device for releasing the lock of the appropriate compartment (e.g., by pressing on a corresponding button).
Simple cupboards or containers with a coin‑operated lock, such as are used in stations for the deposit of baggage or in theatres for supplying opera glasses are excluded from this heading, but fall, for example, in Section XV or Chapter 94.
The heading includes machines equipped with heating or refrigerating devices, or with devices for preparing the product sold (e.g., fruit juice pressers, coffee and milk mixers, ice cream mixers), provided the principal function and purposes of the machines is the automatic sale of the product.
The heading includes coin‑operated machines for selling postage stamps, railway tickets, chocolate, sweets, ice cream, cigarettes, cigars, beverages (such as beer, wine, liqueurs, coffee or fruit juices), toilet products (including scent spraying machines), stockings, photographic films, newspapers, etc.; also machines on which name plates can be stamped out on a strip of metal.
