If using steam or wet blasting method

Steam or water-based jet projecting machines fall under the residual 'other' provision in the same heading.

8479.89Lower: 12.5% vs 35%

If imported as a machine specifically for semiconductor wafer preparation

Statistical notes for Chapter 84 classify wafer grinders/lappers (post-slicing) as semiconductor equipment in 8479 if dedicated to that end-use.

6804.10.00.00Same rate: 35%

If imported as a portable hand-held nozzle unit without cabinet

Standalone abrasive blasting nozzles or guns may classify as millstones or grinding wheels rather than complete machines.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify machine pressure rating and abrasive media compatibility to meet OSHA safety standards and avoid reclassification as parts

Include detailed technical specs and user manuals in documentation to confirm it's a complete sand blasting machine, not a component

Check for EPA dust emission compliance; common pitfall is insufficient filtration leading to customs holds
