If the grapple head is for machinery of heading 84.30 (e.g., cranes, excavators for demolition)
Parts for heading 84.30 machinery are classified under 8431.49, not 8431.41 which is limited to parts for headings 84.26, 84.29, or 84.30.
If the grapple head is for machinery of heading 84.28 (e.g., hoists, elevators)
Parts for heading 84.28 machinery fall under 8431.39, as 8431.41 is specific to buckets for 84.26, 84.29, or 84.30.
