Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If equipped with punching dies for sheet metal
Punching machines adaptable to sheets shift to the numerically controlled or other punching subheading.
If designed for shearing rather than notching
Shearing machines for tube/pipe use different heading for metal-cutting machine tools.
If sold as a complete hydraulic press assembly
If functioning primarily as a general-purpose hydraulic press, it moves to filtering/purifying machinery heading? No, to 8422 for presses.
