Alternative Classifications

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

8302.49.40Same rate: 35%

If base metal fittings not designed for high-temperature vacuum use

Hardware/fittings without extreme environment specs classify under 8302.

6909.90.00Higher: 39% vs 35%

If sold as quartz glassware components rather than metallic machinery parts

Quartz articles primarily of glass go to chapter 70.

6815.99Lower: 10% vs 35%

If molybdenum shapes without attachment machining

Unworked refractory metal articles default to material heading.
