Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If equipped with digital controls regardless of value
Certain advanced manual machines with partial CNC features may qualify for numerically controlled headings.
If classified as a hand tool rather than machine
Small, portable benders under 1-ton capacity might be seen as metalworking hand tools instead of full machines.
If imported as spare parts for existing benders
Individual bending dies or rams are classified as parts of metalworking machines in 8466.
