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 system is imported without its electric control unit and used solely for gas-based spraying
Mechanical spraying apparatus without electric heating or plasma features may fall under mechanical appliances for projecting liquids or powders.
If the system is presented as a complete industrial plant with multiple integrated functions
Machines having individual functions not specified elsewhere in Chapter 84 could be classified here if the principal function is not hot spraying.
If importing only the spray gun or torch as a part of the system
Parts of electric soldering, brazing, or welding machines and apparatus are classified separately under this heading.

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
• Ensure the system is declared as an electric hot-spraying apparatus under 8515.80.00, not as a general industrial machine, to avoid misclassification
• Have technical documentation ready, including the model and operating specifications, to support the classification during CBSA review
• Verify whether any provincial environmental regulations apply to HVOF equipment, as these may affect import clearance
