HS-6 · Subheading
853610
Electrical apparatus; fuses, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts
Heading 8536 — Electrical apparatus for switching, protecting electrical circuits, for making connections to or in electrical circuits, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts; connectors for optical fibres, optical fibre bundles or cables
Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 853610 when importing or exporting fuses designed for electrical circuits with a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts. For example, if you're shipping cartridge fuses used in residential electrical panels, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers fuses, which are crucial for protecting electrical circuits from overloads. In contrast, HS-6 853620 includes other types of electrical apparatus like circuit breakers, which serve a different function in circuit protection.
Fuses classified under this code can come in various forms, such as glass tube fuses or blade fuses, and are often packaged in bulk or in retail packs. If you're dealing with fuses rated for higher voltages, you would need to look at different classifications.
When considering HS-6 853610, think about the specific application of the fuses. For instance, automotive fuses would fall under this category, while fuses designed for industrial machinery might require a different classification.
