Alternative Classifications

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

8518.90Lower: 10% vs 38.5%

If imported as part of microphone or audio equipment

Parts of Chapter 85 sound recording/reproduction apparatus take precedence over standalone cables.

8544.49Same rate: 38.5%

If voltage rating uncertain or exceeds 80V slightly

Higher voltage subheadings apply; precise measurement required to avoid duty shifts.

3926.90.99Lower: 22.8% vs 38.5%

If primarily plastic with incidental conductive elements

Material composition dominates if not principally functioning as electric conductor.
