Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the cable is rated for voltages not exceeding 1,000 V
VFD cables rated at or below 1,000 V are classified under a different tariff item.
If fitted with connectors and rated for voltages not exceeding 1,000 V
Lower voltage and presence of connectors would move it to a different subheading.
