What determines the tariff number?
- Material (cast iron, steel, other). Check valves made from cast iron or steel are classified differently from those made of other materials. Material determines the primary goods group and the first level of the tariff classification.
- Valve design (mechanical, spring-loaded). Different valve constructions – such as simple ball valves, spring-loaded designs, or other mechanical systems – lead to different classifications within the valve apparatus category.
- Pipe size and line type. Valves designed for different pipe diameters and line types (rigid pipes, hoses) may fall into different subcategories, affecting the detailed tariff number.
- Specific application (heating, steam, other). Whether the valve is intended for central heating systems, steam boilers, collection vessels, or other specific applications can influence its classification within machinery components.
