Alternative Classifications

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

3926.90.99Lower: 22.8% vs 39.6%

If not specifically for electrical insulation or assembly

Plain plastic grommets without electrical insulating function or metal inserts for assembly fall under general plastic articles in Chapter 39.

7307.19.30Higher: 40.6% vs 39.6%

If primarily metal conduit with plastic lining

Fittings classified as base metal electrical conduit tubing lined with insulating material go to heading 7307, not insulating fittings.

8546.20.00Lower: 38% vs 39.6%

If designed as electrical insulators for overhead power lines

Insulators of heading 8546 are specifically for supporting or insulating electrical conductors in transmission lines, distinguished by voltage rating and design.
