Alternative Classifications

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

8411.99.90Lower: 37.4% vs 40%

If used in gas or turbojet turbines

Rotor assemblies for combustion turbines fall under Chapter 84 heading 8411, distinct from steam/vapor turbines.

8483.90.80Lower: 37.8% vs 40%

If imported as a replacement part for aftermarket service

General machinery parts not specific to turbines may classify under 8483 if lacking steam turbine design features.

8479.89Lower: 12.5% vs 40%

If for semiconductor wafer grinders or polishers

Spindles in semiconductor processing equipment (per statistical notes) classify in 8479 as machines for semiconductor manufacture, not turbine parts.
