Alternative Classifications

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

8533.10.00Same rate: 35%

If non-adjustable after installation

Fixed resistors without variable taps or wipers classify under the fixed resistor subheading.

8536.90.40Same rate: 35%

If imported as part of electronic apparatus

If permanently mounted on PCBs or complete machines, they become parts of electrical apparatus under heading 8536.

8542.90.00.00Higher: 50% vs 35%

If when packaged as hybrid integrated circuits

Potentiometers integrated with semiconductor components may classify as hybrid circuits rather than discrete variable resistors.
