Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If includes drafting rulers or protractors
Heading 9017.80 covers other drawing/measuring instrument parts; pure gauges stay segregated.
If parts of mechanic's diagnostic machines
Accessories principally for Chapter 84 machines classify with the machine per note 2(b).
If ungauged brass strips
Plain brass articles without length markings fall under Chapter 74 metal articles.
