Alternative Classifications

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

8481.20.00Same rate: 37%

If equipped with proportional solenoid actuation

Proportional hydraulic valves have separate statistical suffix for precise flow modulation via electronic control.

8481.80.90Same rate: 37%

If for general industrial use outside pneumatic/oleohydraulic transmissions

Other appliances may classify under general valves if not specifically for fluid power transmissions.

8481.90.90Lower: 35% vs 37%

If imported as replacement parts without system specification

Valve parts or unspecified components fall under parts provisions rather than complete valves.
