Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If machinery parts not elsewhere specified
Marine couplings without specific nautical classification may default to 8485.
If vessels under 20 feet with integral shaft systems
Small boat complete propulsion assemblies classified as vessels.
If simple copper alloy castings
Unmachined bronze castings classified by material composition.
