Alternative Classifications

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

6914.90Same rate: 35%

If for ferrules larger than specified dimensions

Size restrictions define this narrow subheading; oversized versions go to general 'other' ceramic articles

8544.70.00Same rate: 35%

If considered coaxial cable optical fiber connecting parts

Some fiber optic alignment components may classify under insulated wire/cable fittings rather than discrete ceramics

6903.20.00Same rate: 35%

If containing refractory materials beyond standard alumina/zirconia

Refractory ceramic goods (fired >800°C for structural use) have separate Chapter 69 headings

Import Tips & Compliance

Include ferrule polish grade (UPC/APC) and insertion loss specifications in commercial invoice for Customs verification

Batch test water absorption per ASTM C373 if stoneware classification questioned, though high-fired alumina/zirconia typically qualifies

Avoid bundling with connector housings to prevent classification as complete connector under Chapter 85
