Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8459.51.00Same rate: 39.2%

If not knee-type (e.g., bed-type milling machine)

Knee-type specifically defines 8459.51.0040; bed-type or other configurations fall under separate statistical suffixes.

8479.89.65.00Lower: 20.3% vs 39.2%

If primarily used for non-metalworking like semiconductor wafer processing

Machines for semiconductor manufacturing are excluded from Chapter 84 metalworking tools and classified in Chapter 84 heading 8479.

8459.59.00Same rate: 39.2%

If not numerically controlled

Numerically controlled (CNC) knee-type mills are distinctly classified; non-NC versions go under 8459.59.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Obtain detailed rebuild certification from the refurbisher, including hours of operation and maintenance records to prove compliance with 'used or rebuilt' status

• Verify numerical control system meets original specs; provide OEM documentation to avoid reclassification as new equipment
