Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If of copper-nickel alloy
Specific copper alloy compositions change classification within Chapter 74 fittings.
If for semiconductor wafer processing
Bodies for valves in crystal growers or wafer slicers qualify under semiconductor equipment notes.
If made of plastic rather than brass
Plastic valve bodies classify under Chapter 39 tubes/pipes/fittings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide copper alloy content certification (e.g
• C36000) to distinguish from plastic or steel bodies
• Declare as 'valve body only' with photos excluding ball/stem to avoid complete valve classification
• Check for lead-free compliance if destined for potable water systems per US regulations
