Alternative Classifications

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

8481.40.00Same rate: 37%

If designed solely for pressure reduction

Dedicated pressure-regulating valves have their own subheading outside transmission specifics.

8481.90.90Lower: 35% vs 37%

If classified as valve parts rather than complete

Individual components like spools or solenoids go to parts provisions.

9032.89.60Lower: 36.7% vs 37%

If primary function is automatic flow regulation

Highly automated control valves may classify as automatic regulators in Chapter 90.
