Alternative Classifications

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

8481.80.10Same rate: 39%

If other type like check or needle, not globe

Non-globe copper high-pressure hand valves go to the residual 'other' subheading.

9026.10.60.00Lower: 17.5% vs 39%

If incorporating electronic instrumentation for flow measurement

Valves with integrated sensors for semiconductor testing may classify as instruments of Chapter 90.

8481.80.30Higher: 40.6% vs 39%

If sold as a set with thermostat control

Thermostatically controlled high-pressure valves have a separate provision.
