Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8481.80.00Same rate: Free

If the valve is manually adjusted without automatic control

Non-automatic valves are classified in heading 84.81.

9032.89.00Same rate: Free

If the flow control uses electrical sensors

Electrical automatic regulators are classified under this alternative.

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
