Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If part of a complete starter motor assembly exceeding individual part classification
Assembled electrical ignition/starter systems fall under heading 8511 rather than separate parts.
If for use in industrial generators or non-principal motor applications
Different end-use shifts to other parts of electric motors/generators not specified as commutators.
If imported as unfinished copper commutator blanks before final machining
Unfinished copper products are classified by material in Chapter 74, not as finished motor parts.
