Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If assembled into telecom machines
Complete optical receivers classified under communication apparatus.
If hermetically sealed packages
Encapsulated dice no longer qualify as unmounted wafers/chips.
If optical fiber components
Fiber-coupled detectors shift to Chapter 90 optical elements.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right HTS code — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide bandwidth and responsivity curves to CBP for high-speed verification
• ITAR/EAR export control checks mandatory for InGaAs due to military applications
• Avoid bulk packing; individual anti-static trays preserve dice integrity
