If the inspection station is imported as a standalone electrical control panel without specific elevator mounting or connectors.
Chapter 85 covers electrical control apparatus, but Section XVI Note 2(a) directs parts of machines to their respective headings if they are goods of Chapter 84 or 85; however, a generic control box may be classified under 8537.
