ESAB AristoCut 200i CNC Plasma Cutting System
A high-amperage numerically controlled plasma arc system for heavy-duty metal cutting in shipbuilding and structural steel fabrication, removing material through ionized gas arc. It qualifies for HTS 8456.40.1010 as a dedicated CNC metalworking plasma machine.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as plasma arc power source only, without cutting gantry
Standalone plasma generators for arc processes classify under welding apparatus parts.
If primarily laser-based with plasma as secondary
Water-jet or laser predominant machines shift to other process-specific subheadings.
If treated as a bending or forming machine with plasma assist
Multi-function tools emphasizing forming over removal may go to Chapter 84 forming machines.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit plasma arc process diagrams and CNC controller specs to justify classification over general tools
• Document metal-specific consumables (e.g
• nozzles for steel) to affirm working metal purpose
• Avoid delays by pre-clearing with CBP on high-power units over 1000A, as they may flag for energy import rules
