Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If designed for compression molding
Compression-type molds for rubber or plastics fall under a separate subheading, distinguished by molding method rather than end use.
If not specifically for shoe machinery
Molds for rubber/plastics not tied to shoe production classify as other types, shifting from the specialized shoe machinery provision.
If imported as part of complete shoe molding machine
When supplied as machinery parts rather than standalone molds, classification moves to parts of shoe-making machines.
