Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the pipe were made of briar wood or other wood materials
Briar wood pipes are classified under 9614.00.19, while acrylic pipes fall under the 'Other' subheading.
If the pipe is intended as a toy or for children's play
Chapter 96 Note 1(l) excludes toys, so a theatrical prop for play would be classified in Chapter 95.
