Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
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.
If designed specifically for motor starters
Motor starter relays have dedicated classification, distinguishing from general-purpose automotive relays.
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
