Products classified under HTS 8607.30.50.00
SA3 Automatic Coupler
The SA3 automatic coupler is a standard coupling device used on freight locomotives and rolling stock in many countries, including Russia and former Soviet states. It falls under HTS 8607.30.50.00 as it is classified as 'other' hooks and coupling devices for railway or tramway rolling stock.
Janney Center Buffer Coupler
The Janney coupler (also known as AAR coupler) is the standard automatic coupling system for North American freight cars and locomotives. Classified under HTS 8607.30.50.00 as an 'other' coupling device for railway rolling stock.
Railway Draft Gear Assembly
Draft gear assemblies absorb shock and provide cushioning between coupled railcars during train operations. Falls under HTS 8607.30.50.00 as part of the coupling system for railway rolling stock.
Coupler Yoke
The coupler yoke is the intermediate steel component that connects the coupler shank to the draft gear system in railway cars. Classified under HTS 8607.30.50.00 as a part of coupling devices.
Railcar Buffer Housing
Steel buffer housings protect and contain buffer mechanisms at the ends of passenger coaches and some freight cars. Falls under HTS 8607.30.50.00 as parts of buffers for rolling stock.
Shunting Coupler
Specialized couplers designed for short-distance shunting and switching operations in rail yards. Classified under HTS 8607.30.50.00 as other coupling devices.
Coupler Carrier Bar
Steel bars that support and align the coupler assembly within the railcar underframe. Part of HTS 8607.30.50.00 as coupling device components.
Buffer Plank
Wooden or composite planks fitted behind buffers to distribute impact forces across the railcar structure. Classified under HTS 8607.30.50.00 as buffer parts.
Coupler Knuckle
The pivoting steel component that actually engages with adjacent couplers to form the connection. Falls under HTS 8607.30.50.00 as a critical coupling device part.
Railway Hook Coupler
Traditional link-and-hook coupling systems still used on some narrow gauge and industrial railways. Classified as 'other' under HTS 8607.30.50.00.
