Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If equipped with shuttleless rapier or air-jet insertion

Individual components like heald frames or shuttle boxes are classified separately in Chapter 84 as machinery parts.
If for industrial-scale production of narrow fabrics under 30 cm
Looms designed for fabrics ≤30 cm width, like ribbons, shift to 8446.30 regardless of shuttle type.
