Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 845320 when importing or exporting machinery specifically designed for making or repairing footwear, excluding sewing machines. For instance, a shoe manufacturing machine that molds rubber soles falls under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 845310, which covers machinery for preparing hides and skins. While both are related to leather goods, 845320 focuses solely on footwear production equipment.
Machinery classified under HS-6 845320 includes various types of machines such as those for cutting, shaping, or assembling shoes. This can range from automatic shoe assembly lines to machines that apply adhesives to shoe components.
If you're dealing with equipment that repairs footwear, like a machine that replaces shoe soles, this code is also applicable. Understanding the specific function of your machinery is crucial for proper classification.
