Industrial Gang Push-Button Switch Panel

A panel-mounted assembly of multiple push-button switches rated at 3A, 250V AC, designed for machine control interfaces in manufacturing equipment. Classified under HTS 8536.50.90.32 as 'other gang switches' because it consists of interconnected push-button switches operating as a single unit for voltages under 1,000V. These are commonly used in control stations for starting/stopping motors or activating safety functions.

Alternative Classifications

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

8536.50.70Same rate: 37.5%

If rated over 5A but not exceeding 60A

Current rating determines subheading; switches exceeding 5A shift to 8536.50.70 regardless of gang configuration.

8537.10.91Higher: 52.7% vs 37.5%

If assembled into a complete control panel with additional controllers

Boards with multiple functions beyond simple switching (e.g., adding relays or indicators) fall under 8537 as control panels.

8536.41Lower: 15.2% vs 37.5%

If rocker or toggle type rather than push-button

Switch mechanism type dictates classification; non-push-button gang switches use 8536.41 for relay-type or other actuators.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify exact current rating (≤5A) and voltage (≤1,000V) via manufacturer specs to confirm 8536.50 classification; test reports may be required by CBP

• Include detailed wiring diagrams and IP rating certifications in documentation, as gang switches often need proof of industrial safety standards like UL or CE

• Avoid misclassification as complete control panels (8537); focus on switch assembly only to prevent higher duties or delays
