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 weaves textile materials rather than metal wire
Heading 84.46 covers weaving machines for textiles, which would apply if the braiding involves non-metallic materials.
If the braiding machine has a function not specifically covered by wire working headings
Residual heading for machines with individual functions, applicable if the machine's operation is not squarely within 84.63.
If the machine works metal forms other than wire
Covers other machine-tools for working metal without removing material, for non-wire applications.

Import Tips & Compliance
• For used machinery, provide proof of the machine's age, condition, and rebuilding history to the CBSA
• Confirm that the braiding operation is a form of plastic deformation without material removal, supporting classification under 8463.30.00
• Be prepared to declare the machine's value accurately, as used machinery valuation can be subject to CBSA scrutiny
