More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the valve is manually adjusted without automatic control
Non-automatic valves are classified in heading 84.81.
If the flow control uses electrical sensors
Electrical automatic regulators are classified under this alternative.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Distinguish this from a simple valve—if it lacks automatic feedback, it belongs in heading 84.81
• Provide evidence of the automatic regulation function to CBSA
• Ensure the valve is not part of a larger machine, which could affect classification
