Double-Acting Hydraulic Cylinder for Excavators from Japan
This hydraulic cylinder converts hydraulic pressure into linear mechanical motion using a piston and rod in a double-acting configuration, designed specifically for heavy machinery like excavators. It falls under HTS 8412.21.0075 as a linear acting hydraulic power engine/motor, other than those for semiconductors or aircraft. Classified here due to its role in generating linear force in industrial equipment.

Import Tips
• Verify cylinder bore diameter and stroke length against HTS subheading limits; exceeding certain sizes may require engineering samples for classification
• Include detailed technical specs and end-use certification to avoid misclassification as aircraft parts under 8412.21.00.30
• Ensure pressure ratings and material certifications (e.g
• steel seals) comply with ASME standards to prevent customs holds
