Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If ≤1,000 V rating
Lower voltage traction cables fall into the 8544.49 low-voltage category.
If primarily steel wire rope with copper
Cables where steel dominates for structural strength classify as steel tubes/fittings.
If imported as rail-specific parts
Traction cables imported as parts of railway vehicles may go under Chapter 86 railway parts.
