Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If machined with holes or slots for assembly
Machined beyond cleaning moves to 'other' machined parts in the same subheading.
If for use in semiconductor wafer grinders under statistical note
Specialized columns for wafer prep equipment (8461-type) may classify in Chapter 84 machinery parts.
If non-specific cast-iron construction castings
If not principally for 8456-8461 machines, defaults to general castings in 7325.
