Electrical capacitors; parts of the capacitors of heading no. 8532
Heading 8532 — Electrical capacitors; fixed, variable or adjustable (pre-set)
Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 853290 when importing or exporting parts specifically designed for electrical capacitors, such as terminals, leads, or other components. For example, if you're shipping a batch of capacitor terminals used in circuit boards, this is the correct code.
This code falls under the broader category of 8532, which covers fixed, variable, or adjustable electrical capacitors. Unlike 853291, which pertains to specific types of capacitors, 853290 focuses on the parts that support various capacitor designs.
When dealing with HS-6 853290, you are looking at parts that may not be complete capacitors but are essential for their functionality. This could include items like insulators or mounting hardware that are integral to capacitor assembly.
It's important to distinguish this code from 853230, which covers certain types of capacitors themselves. If you're unsure whether your product is a complete capacitor or a part, consider the function and design of the item in question.
