Alternative Classifications

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

8536.50.90Lower: 35% vs 41.4%

If relay-based without clock/watch movement

Simple motor control relays without timekeeping classify under heading 8536 as electrical switches, excluding Chapter 91 time switches.

8413.70.20Lower: 35% vs 41.4%

If imported as integral pump component

Parts of pumps designed for specific incorporation classify with the pump under heading 8413, not separately as time switches.

9032.89.40.00Lower: 36.7% vs 41.4%

If for automatic pool chemical controllers

Devices primarily for chemical dosing with secondary timing fall under Chapter 90 as automatic regulators of liquids.
