Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8536.49.00Same rate: 37.7%

If control voltage exceeds 60V

Contactors with coils >60V fall under the 'other relays >60V ≤1,000V' subheading.

8536.41.00Same rate: 37.7%

If rated as reversing contactors

Reversing contactors have specific statistical suffixes separate from standard contactors.

8505.90.70.00Lower: 35% vs 37.7%

If imported as part of complete motor starter set

Assembled electromechanical motor starters are classified under heading 85.05 rather than individual components.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify coil voltage rating ≤60V and ensure documentation specifies 'contactor' function for motor switching to avoid reclassification as general relays

Include test certificates for AC-3 duty cycle and IEC 60947-4-1 compliance; common pitfall is missing auxiliary contact specifications

Label with exact voltage/current ratings; U.S

Customs may require proof it's not for ≥60V control circuits
