Heading 15 of 20 in chapter 96 · 1 product
Heading 9611 · $3.5M of $738.9M
Yes. Self-inking stamps that are hand-operated fall squarely within heading 9611 regardless of whether the ink pad is integrated or separate. The built-in inking mechanism does not change the classification as long as the device is hand-operated.
Electric or pneumatic stamping machines are not hand-operated and therefore fall outside heading 9611. Depending on their function, they would typically be classified in the machinery chapters covering printing or marking equipment. The hand-operation requirement is the key boundary for this heading.
