Alternative Classifications

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

8429.40.00Same rate: 35%

If used primarily for concrete placement

Machines for spreading concrete rather than bituminous materials are classified under concrete machinery provisions.

8704.10Lower: 10% vs 35%

If sold as a complete self-propelled dump truck chassis

Vehicle chassis with integrated paving functions may shift to motor vehicle dumpers heading.

8479.89Lower: 12.5% vs 35%

If for non-specific construction machinery without dedicated bituminous handling

General purpose construction machines without bituminous specialization fall into other machinery categories.
