Alternative Classifications

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

8536.41.00Same rate: 37.7%

If rated for AC switching only

AC-rated relays over 60V fall under 8536.41, while this covers general voltage relays not specified as AC/DC.

8536.50.70Lower: 35% vs 37.7%

If designed specifically for motor starters

Motor starter relays have dedicated classification, distinguishing from general-purpose automotive relays.

8543.70.93Lower: 10% vs 37.7%

If imported as modules with additional logic circuits

Hybrid assemblies with processors may classify as other electrical machines rather than simple relays.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify relay voltage rating ≤1,000V and confirm it's not a protective relay (8536.20) via technical specs

Include detailed datasheets showing solid-state design to avoid reclassification as mechanical relays

Check automotive standards compliance (e.g

AEC-Q100) for origin-specific documentation
