More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the printer includes features for cell culture or other non-additive functions
Machines with additional functions may be classified under other subheadings of 84.85.
If the machine is designed for medical use and not solely additive manufacturing
Medical devices or instruments may fall under Chapter 90.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the machine is not classified as medical equipment under Chapter 90; if it's solely for additive manufacturing, 8485.30.00 applies
• Provide evidence of the glass deposition process and intended use in research
• Check if Health Canada regulations apply if the printer is used in medical device manufacturing
