Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If snap-action or quick-break mechanism
Snap-action switches have separate subheading due to faster contact separation.
If for modular plug-in relay types
Knife relays designed for PCB mounting classify as other voltage ≤1,000V relays.
If laminated core with field windings
Electromechanical switches with coils become electrical measuring relays.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm pole configuration and amperage in invoices to match exact statistical suffix
• Test for RoHS compliance; lead in contacts can trigger REACH scrutiny at entry
• Avoid classifying as 'snap-action' to prevent shift to 8536.50.40 subheading
