Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for scrap balers or shears under different size specs
Specific scrap processing knives have separate provisions.
If complete alligator shear machines
Assembled machines classify under lifting/handling Chapter 84.
If imported as ferrous scrap rather than blades
Used/worn blades without refurbishment value go to Chapter 72.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify 'recycling/scrap application' but classification remains machine blades
• Hardness testing reports essential for customs verification
• Don't declare as 'scrap processing equipment' - it's still a cutting blade
