A rigid printed circuit board with a base of plastics impregnated glass fabric (FR-4) featuring 4 layers of copper conducting materials for high-density server motherboard applications. It falls under HTS 8534.00.00.20 due to its non-flexible construction, glass-impregnated base, and 3+ conductive layers as per chapter specifications. These boards enable complex routing for data centers.

Import Tips

Verify layer count and glass impregnation via cross-section analysis to confirm 8534.00.00.20 classification; misclassification risks penalties

Include IPC-6012 certification and material datasheets in documentation to prove non-flexible, multi-layer status

Avoid common pitfall of declaring as flexible PCBs (8534.00.0025) which have different rates; test for rigidity
