Alternative Classifications

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

8533.39.00Same rate: 35%

If using different resistive material like carbon composition

Non-cermet variable resistors fall under the general 'other' subheading without cermet specification.

8542.31.00Higher: 50% vs 35%

If imported as hybrid integrated circuits containing the cermet element

Cermet pots embedded in IC packages classify as electronic integrated circuits rather than discrete components.

8504.50.40Same rate: 35%

If for inductors with integrated cermet trimming

Components combining inductance with variable resistance may shift to transformers and inductors heading.
