Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the machine is used primarily for working metal rather than hard plastics
Machining centres for metal are classified under heading 8457, not 8465.
If the machine is a standalone grinding or sanding machine, not a machining centre
Specific machine types for wood or hard materials are classified under other subheadings of 8465.
If the machine performs a specific function other than machining and is not a machining centre
Machines with a principal purpose not described elsewhere fall under heading 8479.
