Alternative Classifications

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

8541.60.00Same rate: 35%

If frequency differs from exactly 32.768 kHz

Other mounted piezoelectric quartz crystals fall under the residual subheading for frequencies not specified like 32.768 kHz.

8542.31.00Higher: 50% vs 35%

If imported as part of a complete electronic integrated circuit module

When assembled into processors or ICs with memory, it becomes a monolithic integrated circuit rather than a standalone crystal.

9105.21.40Lower: 10% vs 35%

If permanently mounted in a wristwatch movement

Quartz crystals integral to watch mechanisms are classified as parts of clocks/watches rather than separate semiconductor devices.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify frequency certification (exactly 32.768 kHz) via manufacturer specs or test reports to confirm classification under 8541.60.00.10

β€’ Include RoHS compliance documentation as these crystals often contain lead in soldering; ensure proper labeling for electronics imports

β€’ Avoid misclassification as general semiconductor devices (8541.40); specify 'mounted quartz for 32.768 kHz' on commercial invoice
