Quartz Crystal Oscillator 16MHz from Japan
A mounted piezoelectric quartz crystal oscillating at 16MHz, fixed in a hermetic metal can package for use in electronic circuits. It falls under HTS 8541.60.00 as a mounted piezoelectric crystal used primarily in timing and frequency control applications in devices like microcontrollers and radios. The crystal converts electrical energy to mechanical vibrations and back, providing precise frequency stability.

Import Tips
• Verify the crystal is 'mounted' (fixed in housing) vs loose crystal blanks, which classify under 8541.90
• Include technical specs like frequency tolerance and load capacitance in documentation for CBP verification
• Ensure RoHS compliance certificates if destined for consumer electronics to avoid entry delays
