Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the glass dome is imported separately without the plastic base
A standalone glass dome would be classified as a glass article under Chapter 70, not as a clock case.
If the plastic base is imported alone without the glass dome
The plastic base alone would fall under plastics articles, not clock cases.
