Laser-Abrasive Hybrid Blaster
The Laser-Abrasive Hybrid Blaster combines a laser source with an abrasive jet nozzle to perform hybrid surface treatment, such as cleaning, texturing, or coating removal. It falls under tariff item 8424.30.00 because it is a jet projecting machine that uses an abrasive stream, similar to sand blasting, even though it also incorporates laser technology.
