Alternative Classifications

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

8708.99.81.80Lower: 37.5% vs 37.8%

If specifically designed as original engine part for motor vehicles

Auto-specific pulleys may fall under Chapter 87 as parts of engines for vehicles rather than general transmission components.

8483.50.60.00Same rate: 37.8%

If classified as pulley blocks rather than single pulley

Assemblies with blocks or multiple sheaves use a different subheading within the same pulley category.

8483.90Lower: 12.8% vs 37.8%

If as replacement part without grooves fully machined

Incomplete grooved parts are treated as general pulley parts, not finished grooved pulleys.
