HS-6 · Subheading
854190
Electrical apparatus; parts for diodes, transistors and similar semiconductor devices and photosensitive semiconductor devices
Heading 8541 — Semiconductor devices (e.g. diodes, transistors, semiconductor based transducers); including photovoltaic cells assembled or not in modules or panels, light-emitting diodes (LED) assembled with other LEDs or not, mounted piezo-electric crystals
Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 854190 when importing or exporting electrical apparatus parts for semiconductor devices, such as components for diodes and transistors. For example, if you're shipping a batch of circuit boards with integrated semiconductor components, this code is relevant.
This code specifically covers parts for semiconductor devices, distinguishing it from HS-6 854191, which focuses on complete semiconductor devices themselves. If your shipment includes only the components, use 854190.
When dealing with products like photosensitive semiconductor devices, this subheading applies as well. If you're exporting parts that support the function of solar cells or light-emitting diodes (LEDs), consider this classification.
Be mindful of similar codes, such as HS-6 854192, which pertains to specific types of semiconductor devices. Understanding the nuances between these codes can help avoid misclassification and potential customs issues.
