Import Tips
• Document the machine's dual functions of bending and laminating cork to support classification under 8465.20.00
• Verify that the heat and pressure used in lamination are subsidiary to the bending and assembly functions
• Consider whether the machine could be classified under heading 8477 if it is essentially a press for working rubber or plastics
