Laptop Hinge Flex Cable Assembly
A flexible circuit connecting the laptop screen to the motherboard across the hinge, allowing repeated bending. Classified under HTS 8534.00.00.80 for its flexible printed circuit construction using FFC/FPC technology.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing optical fibers for display data
Insulated wire with optical conductors shifts to 8544, not pure electrical printed circuits.
If imported as dedicated parts of specific laptop models
Parts suitable solely for Chapter 84 data processing machines classify there by specific use.
If basic flat flexible cable without printed circuitry
Simple FFC without etched copper traces is plastic sheeting, not a printed circuit board.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right HTS code — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide bend cycle test results (>100,000 cycles) to substantiate flexible classification
• Label with exact dimensions and conductor pitch to prevent confusion with rigid-flex hybrids
