Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as centrifugal pump parts
Similar impeller design may fall under pumps for liquids if not proven for turbine energy conversion.
If parts of electric generators when sold as complete turbine-generator sets
If imported with generator components as a set, may classify under parts of electric motors/generators.
If for gas turbine components
Non-hydraulic turbine parts go to heading 8411; specify water-specific design in documentation.
