Alternative Classifications

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

8477.90Same rate: 38.1%

If used in general plastic processing machines

Parts not specifically identified for blow-molding machines fall under the broader 'other parts' category.

8413Lower: 10% vs 38.1%

If classified primarily as pump components

If the part functions mainly as a pump rather than blow-molding specific, it moves to Chapter 84 pump parts.

3926.90.99Lower: 22.8% vs 38.1%

If made predominantly of plastic rather than metal

Plastic articles of mixed materials not qualifying as machinery parts shift to Chapter 39.
