8547.90.00.30 - Threaded 🖩

This HTS category, 8547.90.00.30, specifically classifies "Threaded" insulating fittings. These are components designed for use with electrical machinery, appliances, or equipment that feature threaded elements for assembly. While the primary material must be insulating, the "threaded" characteristic refers to the presence of metal threads integrated into the fitting during the molding process. This integration is solely for the purpose of facilitating the connection or mounting of electrical apparatus.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8547.90.00.40, which covers "Other" fittings. Category 8547.90.00.30 is precise in its scope, encompassing only those insulating fittings where the threaded feature is a key and intentional part of its construction for assembly purposes. The "Other" category would encompass a broader range of fittings that do not possess this specific threaded characteristic or fall under different sub-classifications within the broader heading.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, understanding the nuances of the "threaded" designation is crucial for accurate classification. Examples within this category might include threaded insulating bushings, sockets, or connectors that are predominantly made of insulating materials but incorporate metal threads for mechanical fastening or electrical connection within a larger system. The emphasis remains on the insulating nature of the fitting, with the threads serving a purely functional, secondary role in its assembly or connection within electrical equipment.
