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 is a specialized drawing apparatus not covered by 84.63
Residual heading for machines with individual functions, applicable if the drawing operation is not specifically wire-oriented.
If the machine draws metal forms other than wire
Covers other machine-tools for working metal without removing material, for non-wire applications.
If the machine uses rolling rather than drawing to reduce diameter
Metal-rolling mills are classified under heading 84.55, which would apply if the reduction is achieved by rolling instead of drawing.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Wire drawing machines are classic examples of machines working wire without material removal, but ensure the dies are not classified as separate tooling
• Provide the CBSA with the machine's die specifications and wire diameter reduction capabilities
• For used machines, have the original purchase documentation and any rebuilding certificates available
