Alternative Classifications

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

7308.90.95Same rate: 35%

If imported as unassembled parts or sections

Individual plates, rods, or sections prepared for structural use but not forming a complete tower fall under other structures and parts.

8502.31.00Higher: 37.5% vs 35%

If classified as part of a complete wind turbine

Tower sections integral to wind-powered generators are classified under electric generating machinery, not standalone structures.

7304.39.00Same rate: 35%

If for bulk transport of tower leg sections without assembly hardware

Tubular sections or tubes prepared for structural use but not specifically configured as tower components may shift to tubes heading.
