Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the carbon track is designed to be electrically or mechanically reactive to temperature changes
This alternative applies when the track is specifically for temperature-reactive resistors, which is not the case for standard carbon tracks.
If the track is presented as a complete wirewound variable resistor rather than a part
Complete wirewound variable resistors are classified under this item, while the candidate is only a component.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Classify this as a part of a variable resistor, not as a complete potentiometer
• Provide technical specifications to CBSA to demonstrate it is not a temperature-reactive part
• Check if the product is subject to any import restrictions or requires certification
