Alternative Classifications

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

8541.90.00Same rate: 50%

If mounted or assembled into packages

Mounted thyristor chips become finished semiconductor devices under photosensitive or other semiconductor parts heading.

3818.00.00Same rate: 50%

If doped semiconductor materials before wafer fabrication

Unprocessed doped silicon falls under chemical preparations for semiconductor manufacture rather than finished wafers.

8486.90.00Lower: 25% vs 50%

If imported as part of complete power semiconductor modules

Assembled thyristor modules classify as assembled electronic integrated circuits or machines.
