Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the valve is not solely a check valve but incorporates additional flow-control features
Other taps, cocks, valves and similar appliances are classified under 8481.80.00 when they do not meet the specific definition of a check valve.
If imported as parts (e.g., replacement balls or springs) rather than complete valves
Parts of valves are classified separately under 8481.90.00.
