Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If supplied as consumable saw wire without machine fixture
Interchangeable tool blades separate from the machine classify as tools in heading 8202.
If statistical note machines for semiconductor wafer prep
Dedicated parts for unlisted wafer processing machines shift to Chapter 84 semiconductor provisions.
