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 tubes are machined into hydraulic cylinder bodies
Parts of hydraulic power engines and motors are classified under heading 8412.
If the tubes are further worked into cylinder components
Other articles of aluminum may apply when tubes are processed beyond simple tube form.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Classify the tubes as aluminum alloy tubes, not as machinery parts, unless they are machined with ports or threads
• Provide alloy certification to confirm 6061 grade
• If the tubes are honed or otherwise processed for cylinder use, this may affect classification
