This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the die is imported as a replacement part without a complete working surface
Parts of interchangeable tools are classified separately under 8207.90.00 when not specified elsewhere.
If the die is part of a machine-tool and not sold separately
Parts of machine-tools, including dies, may fall under Chapter 84 if they are integral to the machine.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the die is classified as a complete die, not a part, to avoid misclassification under 8207.90.00
• Verify the metal composition (e.g
• tool steel) as it may affect duty rates under the MFN tariff
• Keep records of the die's intended use to support classification during CBSA audits
