Continuous CNC Broaching Line
An automated continuous broaching production line that processes multiple splines on CVT transmission shafts simultaneously, removing metal progressively across multiple stations for high throughput. The line is numerically controlled, but as a complete system, it is not classified under the numerically controlled item for single machines. It falls under this tariff item as an 'other' broaching machine.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the line is presented as a single numerically controlled machine rather than a multi-station line
If the line is essentially one CNC-controlled broaching machine, it may fall under the numerically controlled item.
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
• Classify the entire line as a single machine under this item, not as separate units, to avoid misclassification
• Provide a detailed layout and function description to the CBSA to demonstrate it operates as one integrated broaching system
• Check if the line includes any electrical components that require Canadian safety standards certification (e.g
• CSA)

Cermet Broaching Machine
Machine tools specifically designed for broaching cermet materials used in cutting tool inserts and wear parts. These machines are not numerically controlled and are explicitly covered by this tariff item for 'other' broaching machines. They are used for metal removal in cermet processing, a specialized application.
CNC Vertical Broaching Machine
A numerically controlled vertical broaching machine designed for high-precision internal and external broaching of metal parts, commonly used in automotive and aerospace manufacturing. It removes material using a series of progressively shaped teeth, and its CNC control allows for complex profiles and tight tolerances. This machine is not numerically controlled as per the sibling item 8461.30.10, so it falls under this tariff item for other broaching machines.
Continuous Chain Broaching Machine
A chain-driven broach carrier for high-speed, continuous broaching of small parts like gears or fasteners, designed for mass production. It is not numerically controlled, so it falls under this tariff item for 'other' broaching machines. This machine is suited for high-volume metalworking applications.
Heavy Duty Broaching Machine
A large-scale broacher for ship propellers, turbine housings, and heavy forgings up to 50 tons, designed for substantial metal removal in heavy industry. It is not numerically controlled, so it falls under this tariff item for 'other' broaching machines. This machine is used for heavy-duty broaching operations.
