Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not specifically for braking (e.g., general power steering)
Other hydraulic transmission fluids excluding brake-specific formulations go to the residual subheading.
If discarded or spent brake fluid
Chapter notes define waste brake fluids under heading 3824 as unfit for use.
If marketed primarily as lubricant rather than hydraulic fluid
Lubricating preparations with different primary function may classify under Chapter 34.
