Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If rectangular in cross-section and >1.51m² in area
Specific provision for large rectangular injection molds takes precedence over the general 'other' category.
If for non-injection or compression molding types
Molds not designed for injection or compression processes fall under the broader molds for rubber/plastics heading.
If imported as part of a complete injection molding machine
When assembled into a machine for working metal, plastics, or rubber, classification shifts to machine parts.
