Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the rubber lining is the primary functional component
Tubes and pipes of vulcanized rubber fall under heading 4009, applicable if metal is secondary to rubber structure.
If imported unlined or with minimal protective coating only
Plain steel fittings without insulating liner functionality are under Chapter 73 for metal tube fittings.
If for complete insulating fittings not specified as conduit joints
Other insulating fittings of insulating material with minor metal are in 8547.20, but conduit-specific joints are separated.
