Alternative Classifications

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

8541.90.00Same rate: 50%

If sold as discrete component without housing

Unmounted diodes or parts thereof fall under the general 'parts' subheading rather than specific microwave diodes.

8542.31.00Same rate: 50%

If integrated into a processor module

When assembled with other circuits into a hybrid module, it may classify as a monolithic integrated circuit.

8517.62.00Lower: 32.5% vs 50%

If imported as complete microwave communication apparatus

If the diode is pre-assembled into a functioning transmitter/receiver unit, it shifts to machines for communication.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify frequency specs (>1 GHz) via manufacturer datasheet to confirm microwave classification under 8541.10.00.60

Include RoHS compliance certification and test reports for customs clearance to avoid delays

Declare exact GaN composition; mislabeling as silicon can lead to reclassification and penalties
