Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the pipe is classified as a briar pipe under the subheading for other pipes
The subheading 9614.00.19 covers briar pipes, but 9614.00.90 is for 'Other' parts; verify the correct 8-digit code for complete pipes.
If the silver band is substantial and the pipe is primarily a jewellery item
If precious metal is more than a minor constituent, Chapter 96 Note 4 would exclude it, and jewellery classification may apply.
