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 type rather than a reed type
Thermal relays are classified separately from other electromechanical relays.
If the product is presented as a connector rather than a relay
Connectors for electrical circuits are classified under a different subheading within heading 85.36.
If the reed relay includes integrated circuit components for signal processing
Electronic integrated circuits take precedence over other headings per Chapter Note 12.
