Ceramic-Based Thick-Film Hybrid Circuit for Automotive Sensors
This printed circuit board features a ceramic base with thick-film conductive and resistive layers screen-printed and fired for high-temperature applications in automotive sensors. It falls under HTS 8534.00.00.85 due to its ceramic substrate and classification as a printed circuit 'having a ceramic base' for reliable performance in harsh environments. Commonly used in engine management and ABS systems.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If assembled into complete hybrid integrated circuit with semiconductor dies
Fully assembled hybrid ICs with active semiconductor elements shift to Chapter 85 heading 8542 for integrated circuits.
If when imported as dedicated part of automotive sensor module
Certain ceramic hybrid circuits for specific automatic control instruments may classify under 9032 as parts thereof.
If for other electrical machines of heading 8543
If primarily functioning as precision resistor network rather than general-purpose printed circuit.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify ceramic base material certification (e.g
• alumina 96%) as Customs requires proof it's not organic substrate like FR4
• Include test reports showing thick-film firing process to distinguish from etched circuits under 8534 other subheadings
• Avoid misclassification as hybrid ICs (8542); provide assembly diagrams showing printed circuit as primary component
