Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 8420 when importing calendering machines designed for materials other than metal or glass, such as rubber or textiles. For example, a shipment of a rubber calendering machine would fall under this code.

The heading splits into three subheadings: 842010 for complete machines, 842091 for cylinders specifically, and 842099 for other parts. If you're importing a complete calendering machine, use 842010; if it includes a specific cylinder, opt for 842091.

When determining which code to use, consider the components of your shipment. If you're importing a calendering machine with multiple parts, but no cylinders, then 842099 is the appropriate choice. This distinction helps ensure compliance with import regulations.
