Alternative Classifications

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

8482.99Lower: 15.8% vs 39.6%

If functioning primarily as mechanical bearings

Bushings without specific electrical insulating design or properties are classified as mechanical parts in heading 8482.

3926.90.45Lower: 38.5% vs 39.6%

If predominantly plastic, general purpose use

Non-electrical plastic bushings fall under other plastic articles of subheading 3926.90, not specialized insulating fittings.

8548.00.00.00Lower: 35% vs 39.6%

If electrical insulators not fittings for assembly

Other electrical insulators of any material go to 8548 if not specifically 'fittings' with minor metal for assembly per 8547.
