About heading 8468
Machinery and apparatus for soldering, brazing or welding, whether or not capable of cutting, other than those of heading 8515; gas-operated surface tempering machines and appliances; parts thereof
Heading 8468 covers machinery and apparatus for soldering, brazing or welding that is not electric arc or laser based, plus gas-operated surface tempering machines. The heading is split first by power or process type (hand-held blow torches, other gas-operated machinery, other machinery) and then, within gas-operated and other machinery, by whether the unit is hand-directed or hand-controlled versus other. Parts get their own lines, again split by whether they are for hand-directed or -controlled machinery.
