1N4148 Signal Switching Diode

The 1N4148 is a small signal fast-switching diode used in electronic circuits for signal demodulation, detection, and high-speed switching applications. It falls under HTS 8541.10.00.70 because it is a non-photosensitive, non-LED diode with a maximum continuous forward current rating of less than 0.5A (typically 200mA). Commonly found in consumer electronics like radios and computers.

8541.10.00.80Same rate: 50%

If maximum current exceeds 0.5A

Diodes with higher current ratings >0.5A fall into the next statistical suffix within the same heading.

8541.90.00Same rate: 50%

If imported as diode parts or unmounted assemblies

Parts of diodes or incomplete assemblies are classified separately under the 'parts thereof' provision.

8536.90.40Lower: 35% vs 50%

If mounted on circuit boards as electrical apparatus

When diodes are mounted/packaged with other components for electrical apparatus function, they shift to Chapter 85 heading 8536.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify diode specifications including maximum current rating <0.5A via datasheet to confirm HTS 8541.10.00.70 classification

Include manufacturer datasheets and test reports in documentation to prove non-photosensitive and non-LED nature

Avoid misclassification as LEDs (8541.41+) by ensuring no light-emitting properties; common pitfall in mixed shipments
