Alternative Classifications

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

8448.49Lower: 10% vs 17.5%

If complete spinnerets including multiple nipples

Spinnerets classify as parts, while individual nipples are auxiliaries.

8477.90Lower: 13.1% vs 17.5%

If for plastics/rubber extrusion not principally textile

Non-textile extrusion machinery parts go to Chapter 84 heading 8477.

8419.89.95Higher: 39.2% vs 17.5%

If integral to industrial furnace/melt spinning ovens

Machinery for treatment by heat shifts classification if principal function.
