Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If non-electric and percussion-initiated
Percussion caps without electric components are under separate detonating caps provision, changing from electric detonators.
If imported as plastic shock tube material without detonator assembly
Unassembled plastic tubing for detonators is tubes of plastics under Chapter 39, not complete pyrotechnic devices.
If for industrial testing machines with integrated low-power detonators
Detonators in testing equipment for explosives may classify as parts of machines under Chapter 90 if end-use is laboratory testing.
