Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the dryer uses electric heating elements as primary heat source
Electrically heated machinery for treatment by temperature change is classified in 8419.20 when not excluded.
If for integration into complete plywood production machines
Complete machines for working wood, including drying functions, fall under heading 8462 as bending or assembling machines.
If when adaptable for drying other cellulosic materials besides wood
Versatile dryers not specifically for wood/paper pulp go to other provisions within 8419.89.
