Import Tips
• Ensure the platen is classified as a part of plastics-working machinery, not as a general casting, by documenting its specific use in vacuum forming
• Verify whether the integrated heating channels make it a composite machine part; if so, it may still fall under 8477.90.10 as a base or platen
• Keep records of the machinery model it is designed for to support classification during CBSA review
