Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If numerically controlled for complex notch patterns
CNC notching machines classify under numerically controlled punching/notching provisions.
If imported as a rolling mill accessory for structural shapes
Equipment integral to rolling operations shifts to Chapter 84 rolling mill headings.
If for pneumatic rather than hydraulic operation
Pneumatic presses have separate statistical suffixes within other press categories.
