Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If general machinery housings not grinder-specific
Castings for unspecified machinery use fall under other cast iron articles in Chapter 73.
If after precision boring of mounting surfaces
Advanced machining for functional tolerances moves it to other iron/steel parts for 8464.
If for semiconductor processing machines
Parts principally for heading 8486 semiconductor equipment have separate provisions.
