Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the press is not numerically controlled
Non-numerically controlled presses for flattening metal are classified under this alternative.
If the machine performs punching or notching in addition to flattening without numerical control
Non-numerically controlled machines for these operations are classified under this alternative.
If importing parts for the flattening press separately
Parts for machine tools are classified under this heading.
