Alternative Classifications

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

8536.69.40Same rate: 35%

If not specifically coaxial but another type like ribbon cable connector

Coaxial connectors have dedicated subheading 8536.69.4010; other plug/socket types fall into the residual 8536.69.4080.

8544.42.20.00Same rate: 35%

If insulated coaxial cable with attached connector sold as cable assembly

When connector is integral to coaxial cable over 80 cm, it shifts to cable heading 8544 rather than standalone connector.

8517.62.00Lower: 32.5% vs 35%

If for telecom apparatus use with specific machined housings

Certain telecom-specific connectors may classify under communications apparatus machines instead of general electrical connectors.
