Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If uses electro-discharge rather than ultrasonic processing
Electro-discharge machines have separate subheadings within the same chapter.
If primarily for medical instrument fabrication
Certain precision medical processing equipment may classify under Chapter 90.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right HTS code — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Include polishing rate data and surface roughness specs (Ra values) to demonstrate material removal function
• Avoid describing as 'cleaning equipment' in docs, as this shifts classification away from machine tools
• For EU imports, ensure Machinery Directive compliance documentation is complete
