Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8482.91.00Higher: 39.4% vs 39%

If imported as separate balls or rollers for bearing assembly

Parts of bearings like balls/rollers are classified under 8482.91 if not purely ceramic wares for technical use.

6906.00.00.00Lower: 35% vs 39%

If for investment casting ceramic cores used in molds

Different technical ceramic applications like casting cores fall under heading 6906.

6909.90.00.00Same rate: 39%

If other unglazed laboratory ceramic labware like crucibles

Bearings are specifically suffixed .10; general technical ceramic articles use .90.
