What determines the tariff number?
- Fibre material. Connection cables made from different synthetic filaments such as nylon, polyamides, polyester or polypropylene are classified differently. The base material determines the tariff number significantly.
- Fibre type (staple vs. filament). The distinction between synthetic staple fibres and man-made filaments leads to different classifications. The fibre structure of your cable is therefore a crucial classification factor.
- Speciality fibre composition. Cables made from aramid, cellulose acetate or other specialty materials receive separate tariff numbers. If your connection cable contains specialty fibres, this can substantially impact its classification.
