Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the production line is numerically controlled
Numerically controlled broaching machines are classified under this separate tariff item.
If importing broaching tools or work holders separately
Tool holders and work holders for machine tools are classified under heading 84.66.
If the line performs a function other than broaching
Machines with a principal function not described elsewhere are classified under heading 84.79.

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 complete line as a single machine if the components are presented together and contribute to a single function, per Section XVI Note 4
• Provide a detailed layout and function description to the CBSA to avoid misclassification
• Check if the line includes any electrical control panels that may require separate classification
