Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as parts of vehicle heating apparatus
Parts of electrothermic appliances may classify under 8516.90 if not standalone resistors.
If for use in motor vehicles as assembled body parts
Vehicle body electrical components often fall under Chapter 87.
If not specifically for anti-icing/deicing
General electric heating resistors without deicing purpose use different subheading.
