Alternative Classifications

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

9017.20.70Same rate: 35%

If designed exclusively for semiconductor testing

Testing apparatus for semiconductor devices falls under Chapter 90, not tools for material processing.

8466.94.85Higher: 39.7% vs 35%

If imported as a part for larger semiconductor equipment

Parts for machines of heading 8466 (semiconductor manufacturing machines) are classified separately from complete hand tools.

8467.89.50Lower: 17.5% vs 35%

If with self-contained non-electric motor instead of pneumatic

Tools with non-electric motors like combustion engines use different subheadings within 8467.
