Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the broaching machine is numerically controlled
Numerically controlled broaching machines are classified separately under this subheading.
If importing tool holders or self-opening dieheads separately
Parts and accessories for machine tools are classified under heading 84.66.
If importing other parts of broaching machines
Other parts for metal-working machine tools fall under this heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the machine is not numerically controlled, as that would fall under 8461.30.10 with a different rate
• Declare the machine's value in Canadian dollars and include all accessories for accurate assessment
• Verify if any provincial or federal safety certifications are required for the equipment
