Alternative Classifications

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

8536.41.00Same rate: 37.7%

If for rated voltage >1,000V

Relays designed for higher voltage circuits shift to 8536.41 regardless of contact current rating.

8536.49.00Same rate: 37.7%

If contacts rated 10A or greater

Higher contact current rating moves to the specific subheading for >10A relays.

8708.99.81Lower: 37.5% vs 37.7%

If imported as complete motor vehicle part assembly

When integrated into finished automotive parts, classified by end-use rather than as standalone relay.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify contact rating and voltage specs in technical datasheets to confirm <10A classification under 8536.49

• Include automotive qualification certificates (e.g

• AEC-Q100) for compliance with US safety standards

• Avoid misclassification as power relays (>10A) which fall under 8536.49.0060; check coil and contact specs
