8481.20.00.70 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification covers valves specifically designed for oleohydraulic or pneumatic transmissions, excluding those of the solenoid type. These valves are integral to systems that utilize pressurized liquids (hydraulic) or gases (pneumatic) to transmit power and control movement. Examples include directional control valves, flow control valves, and pressure control valves that are not activated by electrical solenoids. The primary function is to regulate the flow, pressure, or direction of fluid within these specialized transmission systems.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8481.20.00.60 (Solenoid type), is crucial. While both fall under valves for oleohydraulic or pneumatic transmissions, this specific classification excludes any valve that relies on an electromagnetic solenoid for its operation. Instead, these valves are typically actuated manually, mechanically, electrically (without a solenoid), or through pilot pressure. The method of actuation serves as a key differentiator for accurate classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8481.20.00.70 hinges on confirming that the valve is intended for oleohydraulic or pneumatic transmissions and that its operational mechanism is not a solenoid. If a valve fits these criteria, it is classified here, regardless of its specific design or function within the transmission system, as long as it is not specifically accounted for in a more granular subclassification not present here.
