More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the machine works metal forms other than wire
Covers other machine-tools for working metal without removing material, for non-wire applications.
If the machine has a specialized function beyond standard wire loop forming
Residual heading for machines with individual functions, applicable when the machine's operation is not squarely within 84.63.
If the loop forming uses press-type bending mechanisms
Heading 84.62 covers bending machines using presses, which may apply if the forming is not specifically wire-oriented.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the machine is classified as working wire without material removal, as machines that cut wire during the loop-forming process may fall under different headings
• Provide the CBSA with the machine's loop diameter range and wire gauge capacity
• Verify whether the machine's automation level affects its classification or duty rate
