Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8202.39.00Same rate: 35%

If classified based on the diamond cutting blade rather than drive

Saw blades and metal cutting tools go to Chapter 82, separating from mechanical drive parts.

8466.94.85Higher: 39.7% vs 35%

If for parts of wire saws identified as metalworking machinery

If not exclusively semiconductor, saw parts may fall under 8466 for tool parts.

8431.20.00.00Same rate: 35%

If parts of fork-lift style wafer transport machinery

Shifts to 8431.20 if principally for 8427 materials handling equipment.
