Ultimaker S5 FDM 3D Printer
The Ultimaker S5 is a professional fused deposition modeling (FDM) printer that deposits molten thermoplastic filament layer by layer to build objects from plastic. It falls under HTS 8485.20.00.00 as it uses the extrusion and deposit method for plastics in additive manufacturing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If used for semiconductor wafer processing
Machines for semiconductor manufacturing like wafer grinders may classify under machinery for semiconductor production rather than general additive manufacturing.
If by metal powder deposit such as laser sintering
Additive machines using metal powder bed fusion fall under the metal deposit subheading instead of plastics.
If primarily for testing or metrology rather than manufacturing
Equipment focused on testing semiconductor devices or precise measurement may classify in Chapter 90 for testing machines.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right HTS code — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify machine specifications confirm plastic filament extrusion to avoid reclassification as metal additive equipment
• Include detailed technical datasheets and user manuals showing deposit-by-plastics process for customs review
