Alternative Classifications

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

8525.89.50Lower: 35% vs 50%

If fully assembled into digital cameras

Complete digital still image cameras or video recorders fall under 8525.89, not raw semiconductor wafers.

8542.32.00Same rate: 50%

If integrated circuit amplifiers rather than discrete transistors

Memory or amplifier ICs classify under 8542.32, separate from discrete photosensitive transistors.

8486.90.00Lower: 25% vs 50%

If for industrial semiconductor manufacturing equipment parts

Semiconductor manufacturing machines parts go to 8486, based on end-use in fab equipment.

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit wafer maps and test data proving photosensitive transistor functionality for correct HTS verification

Comply with ITAR/EAR if destined for defense imaging applications

Avoid classifying diced wafers as finished chips if still on frame; declare as wafers
