Alternative Classifications

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

8536.90.40Same rate: 35%

If when sold in complete apparatus assemblies for retail packaging

Connectors in finished electrical equipment kits fall under apparatus parts, not standalone connectors.

9001.10.00Higher: 41.7% vs 35%

If for precision optical alignment components used in fiber optic splicing equipment

Certain specialized optical fiber alignment devices classify under optical instruments.

7326.90.86Higher: 37.9% vs 35%

If ferrule is primarily steel rather than ceramic with optical specifications

Metal ferrules without optical tolerances become other steel articles.
