Alternative Classifications

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

8480.49.00Same rate: 38.1%

If used for non-centrifugal casting methods

Molds for other metal casting processes fall under the broader 'other types' for metal molds, excluding specific centrifugal ductile iron provisions.

8477.10.90Same rate: 38.1%

If imported as part of complete centrifugal casting machinery

When assembled into injection or casting machines, classification shifts to the machinery heading rather than separate molds.

7326.90.86Lower: 37.9% vs 38.1%

If made primarily of iron or steel without precision molding features

Basic iron/steel articles for foundry use may classify as other steel products if not qualifying as specialized molds.
