More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the tubing is made of an aluminum alloy to meet higher pressure requirements
Alloyed aluminum tubes and pipes are classified under 7608.20.00, which has different duty rates.
If the tubing is cut to length and machined with threads or grooves for vacuum connections
Once the tubing is worked beyond simple cutting, it may be considered an article of aluminum under heading 7616.
If the tubing is imported as part of a complete vacuum pump system
Section XV note 1(f) excludes machinery of Section XVI, so a vacuum pump with tubing may fall under heading 8414.
