## How it is structured

8480.71 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 84, are the chapter; the first four, 8480, are heading 84.80; the last two, 71, identify the subheading within the heading.

Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.

- Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof
- Heading 84.80: Moulding boxes for metal foundry; mould bases; moulding patterns; moulds for metal (other than ingot moulds), metal carbides, glass, mineral materials, rubber or plastics
- Within the heading: Moulds for rubber or plastics
- Subheading 8480.71: Injection or compression types

## In other countries

No national tariff lines under 8480.71 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 8480.71 at six digits and add their own digits after it.
