Alternative Classifications

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

8532.10.00Same rate: 35%

If capacitance is non-adjustable after manufacture

Fixed capacitors without adjustment capability fall under 8532.10, changing from variable classification.

8536.90Lower: 10% vs 35%

If imported as part of a complete electronic module or board

Assembled into larger apparatus, they may be classified under electrical apparatus heading 8536 instead of separate components.

8542.90.00.00Higher: 50% vs 35%

If packaged as hybrid integrated circuits with adjustment features

If mounted on a ceramic substrate with ICs, moves to hybrid circuits under 8542.90.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify capacitance range and adjustment mechanism in specs to confirm variable classification under 8532.30

Include detailed datasheets showing pre-set adjustability; avoid misclassification as fixed capacitors (8532.10)

Check RoHS compliance and provide tolerance ratings to prevent customs holds on electronic components
