Alternative Classifications

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

8431.43Lower: 10% vs 35%

If imported as replacement parts

Swivels for maintenance classified under parts of oil/gas drilling machinery rather than complete units.

8481.80.90Higher: 37% vs 35%

If functioning mainly as valves

Swivels with primary valve action for fluid control shift to tap/valve headings.

8430.49.40.00Same rate: 35%

If for mineral/ore boring, not hydrocarbons

Excludes oil/gas field use, placing rotary swivels in other boring machinery for earth/minerals.

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit pressure ratings and material certs (e.g

API 8C) proving suitability for high-pressure oil/gas rotary drilling

Declare as complete rotary assembly if integrated; separate parts risk different classification

Avoid pitfall of bulk packaging misread as parts; use retail-ready crating for machinery status
