....Automotive sensor classification depends on the imported article's objective characteristics and independent function: temperature sensors that only transmit resistance signals fall under the specific thermistor entry; exhaust-gas sensors performing electrochemical analysis fall under gas-analysis apparatus; a brake-pedal sensor remains a Chapter 90 measuring or checking instrument rather than a brake part; and a Hall-effect wheel sensor that generates pulses is electrical apparatus, not a speed-measuring instrument. Specific tariff headings prevail over residual headings. Completed nil-duty assessments cannot be reclassified through duty-recovery proceedings without a proposed duty liability. Alternate FTA relief requires proof of eligibil.........
