Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If formed into complete air filters
Finished filtering equipment classifies under Chapter 84 appliances.
If other shapes like oval instead of rectangular flat
Non-rectangular wire cross-sections have separate plating subheadings.
If ceramic-coated rather than zinc
Specialty high-temperature coatings move to refractory materials.
