What determines the tariff number?
- Junction box material. Aluminium junction boxes are classified differently than those made from other materials. Material is the primary factor determining the tariff group and thus the complete code.
- Electrical or mechanical function. An electrical junction box for power distribution has a different tariff classification than mechanical containers. Functional purpose is decisive for correct classification.
- Construction and closure mechanism. The type and quality of the closure system and overall construction affect the HS code. Sealing quality and fastening method also influence how the product is classified.
