Alternative Classifications

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

8413.91.90Lower: 35% vs 38.9%

If imported as integral part of a specific pump assembly

Parts recognizable as dedicated to pumps under 8413 are classified there rather than general machinery parts in 8487.

4016.93Lower: 12.5% vs 38.9%

If for seals made predominantly of rubber for pump applications

Rubber-dominated seals go to Chapter 40 even if for machinery; metal/PTFE composites stay in 8487.

8483.90.80Lower: 37.8% vs 38.9%

If designed as transmission shaft seal with bearing integration

Seals combined with transmission elements may classify under 8483 for bearing-related parts.
