What determines the tariff number?
- Material composition. Angle grinders made from base metals are classified differently from those using alternative materials. The choice of primary material directly impacts the customs tariff number assigned.
- Drive mechanism. Electric-powered angle grinders are classified separately from manual or pneumatic variants. The power source is a fundamental criterion for correct classification.
- Intended use and function. Whether the tool is designed for grinding, cutting, or other applications affects its classification. The primary function determines the appropriate tariff category.
