Belkin Surge Protector Power Strip
A multi-outlet power strip with built-in surge suppression circuitry designed to protect connected electronics from voltage spikes and power surges. It falls under HTS 8536.30.8000 as 'other apparatus for protecting electrical circuits' for voltages not exceeding 1,000V, distinct from standard fuses or circuit breakers.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If lacking active surge suppression circuitry
Without protective components, classified as automatic circuit breakers under 8536.20, but power strips default to 8535 for plugs/outlets.
If incorporating significant data transmission capability
Insulated wire/cable assemblies with protection may shift to 8544 if primary function is cabling rather than circuit protection.
If sold as power supply unit with static converters
If includes power conversion transformers, reclassifies under 8504 for static converters rather than pure protection apparatus.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify surge protection joule rating and circuitry meets 'apparatus for protecting' definition; provide test reports to avoid reclassification as mere extension cords
• Include detailed electrical specs confirming voltage ≤1,000V and protective function in commercial invoice
