Elevator Traction Sheave
A grooved pulley used in elevator traction systems to grip and move hoist ropes, transmitting power from the motor to the elevator car. Classified under HTS 8431.39.0010 as a part solely for elevator machinery of heading 8428, specifically for traction drive elevators.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If designed for hydraulic elevators
Hydraulic elevator parts like cylinders fall under subheading 8431.31 for hydraulic fluid power machinery.
If functioning as a general pulley or sheave not elevator-specific
Pulley wheels not principally for 8428 elevators classify as general transmission components in 8483.
If imported as complete elevator subassembly rather than individual part
Assembled elevator components may classify as machines of heading 8428 rather than separate parts.
