Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If integral to complete audio amplifier assembly
Microphone/resistance combinations or complete audio apparatus take precedence.
If plastic-encapsulated without metal glaze specification
Non-electrical potentiometer-like devices fall under plastic articles.
If carbon film construction
Material composition (carbon vs metal glaze) determines specific subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Audio potentiometers require FCC Part 15 compliance documentation even as components
• Specify resistance value tolerance and power rating on commercial invoice for valuation purposes
• Bulk tape packaging common; declare as individual units to avoid parts-of-machines classification
