Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If designed for blow molding rather than injection
Blow molds for glass or plastics fall under a separate subheading for non-injection/compression types.
If primarily for rubber vulcanization
Molds specifically for rubber processing shift to the rubber molds subheading.
If imported as part of a complete injection molding machine
When assembled into machinery, it may classify under machine tools rather than standalone molds.
