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 straightening operation is considered a specialized function not covered by 84.63
Residual heading for machines with individual functions, applicable if the machine's operation is not squarely within 84.63.
If the machine uses press-type mechanisms for straightening
Heading 84.62 covers bending machines using presses, which may apply if the straightening is not specifically wire-oriented.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Wire straighteners are clearly within 8463.30.00 as they deform wire through rollers without removing material
• Provide the CBSA with the machine's straightening tolerance specifications and wire diameter range
• For benchtop models, ensure the machine meets Canadian electrical safety standards if it is powered
