This specialized injection molder produces PET preforms that are later blown into bottles, using precise multi-cavity molds. Although injection-based, it is classified under tariff item 8477.59.00 when not meeting the specific criteria for injection molding machines, as it is designed for a distinct stage in bottle production.
