Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for non-engine industrial gas purification applications
Catalytic elements for general gas purification (not vehicle exhaust) use different subheadings.
If imported as catalytic converter catalyst coating only
Supported catalysts as chemical preparations are classified in Chapter 38, separate from the converter housing.
If permanently mounted as original vehicle equipment
OEM-installed mufflers and exhaust components including converters classify as vehicle parts.
