Alternative Classifications

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

9033.00Lower: 14.4% vs 36.7%

If not principally for automatic regulation but general use as accessory

Parts or accessories not dedicated solely to 9032 apparatus default to 9033 per chapter note 2(c).

8479.89.65Lower: 20.3% vs 36.7%

If for industrial machinery control units without automatic feedback

Machines not meeting automatic control definition in note 5 classify under Chapter 84 as unlisted machines.

9032.89.20Lower: 36.1% vs 36.7%

If specifically for pneumatic pressure regulation

Pneumatic automatic regulators have dedicated subheading; this covers broader 'other' controls.
