Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the line is primarily an extruder with a calender attachment
Machinery for working rubber or plastics is classified under heading 84.77 when the principal function is extrusion rather than calendering.
If importing only the cylinders or rolls separately
Cylinders for calendering machines are classified separately under the same heading when presented alone.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the machine is declared as a single unit if the cooling and embossing units are integral; otherwise, separate classification may apply
• Provide a detailed technical description to the CBSA to confirm it is not for metals or glass, which would fall under other headings
