BNC Coaxial Connector from China
The BNC coaxial connector is a bayonet-style connector designed for RF and video signal transmission, featuring a 50-ohm impedance characteristic. It falls under HTS 8536.69.40 as a coaxial connector used for making secure electrical connections in circuits operating at voltages not exceeding 1,000 V. Commonly used in broadcast equipment, test instruments, and CCTV systems.

Import Tips
• Verify connector impedance (50Ω or 75Ω) and ensure documentation matches coaxial specifications to avoid misclassification
• Include test reports confirming voltage rating ≤1,000V; common pitfall is failing to distinguish from optical fiber connectors
• Label with material composition (e.g
• brass body, gold-plated contacts) for customs compliance
