Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the U-joint is specifically for tractors listed in tariff item 8701.10.10, 8701.30.00, or 8701.91.00 to 8701.95.90
This subheading covers steering parts for those specific tractors, which may have a different duty rate.
