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