Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8536.90.40.00Higher: 35% vs 27.8%

If part of electrical apparatus connections

If integrated as components in electrical apparatus, may shift to 8536.

3818.00.00Higher: 50% vs 27.8%

If intentionally doped variants

Doping changes it from chemically defined compound to prepared electronic material in 3818.

2852Lower: 13% vs 27.8%

If other chemically defined mercury compounds

Subheading 2852.10 is mercury-specific; GaAs stays in 2853 as non-mercury inorganic.

Import Tips & Compliance

Document crystal orientation (e.g

(100) or (111)) and flatness specs (<1 micron) for accurate tariff classification

Check BIS export licensing for GaAs wafers over certain sizes due to technology controls
