What determines the tariff number?
- Construction method. Spare parts made from knitted or woven materials are classified differently from non-woven components. This is a primary distinction in the tariff nomenclature.
- Functional type and intended use. Whether the spare part is designed for apparel accessories (bras, belts, garters) or general use significantly affects its tariff classification.
- Material composition. The type of material (plastic, metal, textile) and whether precious metals are present determine the exact 8-digit classification code.
