Alternative Classifications

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

7228.30Lower: 10% vs 40%

If imported as unfinished alloy steel bar

Raw forged shafts without turbine-specific machining classify as semi-finished steel products in Chapter 72.

8483.90.80Lower: 37.8% vs 40%

If for general industrial machinery

Lack of steam turbine-specific features leads to classification as other machinery parts under 8483.
