Alternative Classifications

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

8465.91.00Higher: 38% vs 37%

If for sawing or cutting glass rather than drilling

Glass sawing machines classify under heading 8465 for machine tools working by laser or other light processes if applicable, but mechanical saws stay in 8464.

8207.90.30Higher: 40% vs 37%

If imported as interchangeable tooling only

Drill bits and tooling separate from the machine base classify as tools in Chapter 82.
