What determines the tariff number?
- Material composition. Jacks made from base metals are classified differently from those made of other materials. The material is key to assigning the correct tool category in the tariff nomenclature.
- Mechanism type (hydraulic or mechanical). Mechanical jacks are assigned different tariff numbers than hydraulic or electric versions. The operating principle is a decisive classification factor.
- Intended use and design. Whether the jack is designed as a portable hand tool, assembly tool, or for specialized vehicle repair affects the precise tariff number significantly.
