Import Tips & Compliance
• Classify the vacuum plate as a part, not as a work holder, since it is specific to heading 84.64 machines; work holders are covered by subheading 8466.20
• Provide documentation showing the plate's sole use with specific grinder models
• Verify if the plate's vacuum system requires separate classification
