What determines the tariff number?
- Material (rubber vs. metalloplastic). Shaft seal rings made from vulcanised rubber are classified differently from metalloplastic seals. The material determines whether your product falls into the category of rubber goods or machinery components, significantly affecting the HS code.
- Seal type and construction. Individual seals are classified differently from seal sets or assortments of various seal types. The specific design and functional characteristics determine the applicable customs tariff number.
- Intended use and application. Whether the shaft seal ring is designed for machinery, motors, or other mechanical devices can affect its classification. The intended use is a key factor in determining the correct HS code.
- Packaging and delivery format. Seals supplied individually in pouches or envelopes versus loose or in larger assortments may have different HS codes. The packaging type and supply format influence the customs tariff classification.
