Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8482.40.00Higher: 55.8% vs 25%

If for general precision coupling, not ICs

Non-specialized flip-chip equipment falls under ball/roller bearings and coupling machinery.

9031.80.80Higher: 35% vs 25%

If with dominant measuring/alignment function

If primary function is optical alignment rather than bonding, classifies in measuring instruments.

8479.89.65.00Lower: 20.3% vs 25%

If for flat panel display assembly

Similar bonders for LCD/OLED panels classify under flat panel display machinery subheading.
