Alternative Classifications

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

8544.42.90Lower: 37.6% vs 38.5%

If rated over 80V but not exceeding 1000V

Voltage rating determines subheading; cables exceeding 80V shift to 8544.42 even if still under 1000V total.

8517.62.00Lower: 32.5% vs 38.5%

If designed specifically for telecommunications networks

Heading 8517 takes precedence for telecom-specific machines and apparatus over general insulated conductors.

8544.30.00.00Higher: 55% vs 38.5%

If containing optical fibers assembled with electric conductors

Hybrid fiber-optic/electric cables classified under 8544.30 regardless of voltage.
