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 any station performs cutting or grinding
Material-removing stations would change the overall classification.
If the line performs functions beyond wire forming
Lines with multiple functions may be classified by principal function.

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 all stations contribute to wire forming; provide a detailed layout to the CBSA
• Verify if individual stations are separately classifiable
• Check if the line includes any material-removal operations
