Alternative Classifications

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

9033.00Lower: 14.4% vs 35%

If suitable for multiple measuring instruments beyond CMMs

Parts not dedicated solely to 9031.49.40 CMMs fall into general parts/accessories for measuring instruments.

8419.90.10Same rate: 35%

If incorporates air-bearing mounting holes

Air-bearing components may shift to machinery parts under heating/cooling equipment if multifunctional.

6802.93.00Higher: 38.7% vs 35%

If imported without CMM-specific machining

Unworked granite articles classify by material, not end-use specificity.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify granite density and flatness certification meets CMM tolerances (typically <5μm/300mm) for customs valuation

Include CMM model compatibility docs to avoid reclassification as general granite under 6802

Check for anti-dumping duties on granite from specific countries like India or China
