Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If designed as a converter rather than a static mold
Converters for metallurgy are separate from ingot molds in 8454.10.
If imported as loose refractory bricks for mold lining
Refractory bricks for furnace linings are in Chapter 69, not assembled molds.
If for non-ferrous bottom-pouring applications
Suffixes specify metal type, shifting non-steel to other provisions.
