Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If strictly injection molding type
Injection molds have a dedicated subheading separate from compression types, based on the primary molding process used.
If made primarily of plastic rather than metal
Predominantly plastic molds classify under Chapter 39 for articles of plastics, not metal molds in Chapter 84.
If for glass or mineral material shoe components
Molds for non-rubber/plastic materials like glass heels shift to the general molds heading excluding rubber/plastics.
