More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the relay is a thermal relay rather than an electromechanical type
Thermal relays operate on a different principle and are classified separately within the relays heading.
If the product functions primarily as a switch rather than a relay
Switches for circuits not exceeding 1,000 volts are covered under this heading.
If the relay incorporates electronic integrated circuits for control
Electronic integrated circuits are classified in heading 85.42, which takes precedence over other headings per Chapter Note 12.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the relay's coil voltage and contact ratings are clearly stated on the commercial invoice to support classification under 8536.49.00
• Verify that the relay does not incorporate semiconductor elements, which could shift classification to Chapter 85, heading 85.42
• Keep technical datasheets available in case CBSA requests evidence of the electromechanical construction
