Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as unassembled coupling components
Disassembled parts of shaft couplings are classified separately under parts heading.
If for machines of heading 8479 (other machines)
Couplings integral to specific unclassified machinery may follow that machine's classification.
If dedicated components of specified industrial engines/turbines
Gas turbine/engine specific couplings classified with those machines in Chapter 84.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide engineering drawings showing torque ratings and alignment tolerances for customs valuation
• Label with maximum RPM and shaft diameter specs to demonstrate industrial classification
• Avoid bulk packaging that might classify as parts rather than finished couplings
