The distinction turns on the intended substrate and end product. Machines specifically designed to process large glass substrates for LCD or OLED panels — such as array testers, glass-handling robots, or thin-film transistor deposition systems for display applications — belong under 8486300000. Equipment designed for silicon wafer-based semiconductor device fabrication falls under 8486200000, even if some underlying process steps are similar. Dual-use machines require careful analysis of the principal-function rule.
Equipment originating from China could be subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on the specific product and applicable exclusions. South Korea, the leading supplier under this heading, is not subject to Section 301 measures. Importers should verify the current status of any applicable exclusions or modifications through the USTR's published lists before entry.
