Alternative Classifications

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

8708.99.81Lower: 37.5% vs 55.3%

If sold as a replacement part for specific vehicle models without standalone fare function

Vehicle parts of base metal or plastic fall under Chapter 87 if principally for motor vehicle assembly, per Section XVI notes excluding measuring instruments.

8471.80.90.00Lower: 50% vs 55.3%

If classified primarily as a fare-processing computer rather than distance measurer

Automatic data processing machines for calculation may shift to Chapter 84 if computing dominates over mechanical revolution counting.

9031.80.80Lower: 35% vs 55.3%

If for other measuring/checking instruments not specifically taximeters

Chapter 90 note prioritizes 9031 for optical/measuring instruments if not fitting exact 9029 description.
