8535.21.00Same rate: 40.2%

If rated for voltage not exceeding 1,000V

Low-voltage fuses fall under subheading 8535.21, changing the voltage-based classification

8536.10.00Same rate: 40.2%

If designed specifically for motor overload protection

Fuses for protecting electric motors are classified under heading 8536 as fuses for specific equipment

8544.60.60Higher: 53.2% vs 40.2%

If imported as insulated components without fuse elements

Bare insulated conductors or assemblies lacking active fuse functionality move to heading 8544

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fuse voltage rating exceeds 1,000V and obtain IEEE/ANSI certifications to avoid reclassification

• Include detailed technical specs and test reports in documentation to prove 'other fuse' status

• Beware of common pitfalls like incorrect voltage declaration leading to Chapter 85 heading 8536 misclassification
