Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the machine is specifically designed for gear cutting or finishing
Gear cutting, gear grinding, or gear finishing machines are classified under heading 84.61 but in a different subheading.
If importing replacement parts
Parts for machine-tools of heading 84.61 are classified under heading 84.66.
If the machine performs a specialized function not covered by heading 84.61
Machines with functions not described in specific headings fall under heading 84.79.
