Here's a classification breakdown for "3.3V TO 5V CONVERTER" based on the provided reference data, aiming for the most accurate HS codes:
- 8504406001 - Electrical transformers, static converters (for example, rectifiers) and inductors; parts thereof: Static converters: Power supplies for automatic data processing machines or units thereof of heading 8471; power supplies for goods of subheading 8443.31 or 8443.32; power supplies for monitors of subheading 8528.42 or 8528.52 or projectors of subheading 8528.62: Suitable for physical incorporation into automatic data processing machines or units thereof of heading 8471 With a power output not exceeding 50 W.
- Explanation: This HS code covers static converters, specifically power supplies. Given the "3.3V TO 5V" description, it's likely a power supply converting voltage. The "suitable for physical incorporation" aspect and power output limit (<50W) are key.
- Breakdown:
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
- 04: Electrical transformers, static converters, and inductors.
- 40: Static converters.
- 60: Power supplies (specific applications).
- 01: For automatic data processing machines (under 50W).
- 8504406018 - Electrical transformers, static converters (for example, rectifiers) and inductors; parts thereof: Static converters: Power supplies for automatic data processing machines or units thereof of heading 8471; power supplies for goods of subheading 8443.31 or 8443.32; power supplies for monitors of subheading 8528.42 or 8528.52 or projectors of subheading 8528.62: Suitable for physical incorporation into automatic data processing machines or units thereof of heading 8471 Other
- Explanation: Similar to 8504406001, but for power supplies not meeting the <50W or specific incorporation criteria. If the converter is above 50W or not designed for direct incorporation, this is the more appropriate code.
- Breakdown: Same as above, but 01 indicates "other" power supply applications.
- 8543708000 - Electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts thereof: Other machines and apparatus: Other: Microwave amplifiers
- Explanation: This is less likely, but possible if the converter has a very specific, non-standard function beyond simple voltage conversion. The "microwave amplifiers" sub-heading suggests a specialized application.
- Breakdown:
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
- 43: Electrical machines and apparatus with individual functions.
- 70: Other machines and apparatus.
- 80: Other (specific applications).
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Power Output: Crucially, determine the exact power output (in Watts) of the converter. This will dictate whether 8504406001 or 8504406018 is correct.
- Application: Is the converter specifically designed to be built into automatic data processing machines, monitors, or projectors? If so, 8504406001 is more likely.
- Functionality: Does the converter have any unique features beyond basic voltage conversion? If so, 8543708000 might be considered.
- Tax Rate: All listed HS codes currently have a total tax rate of 55.0% (0% base + 25% additional, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
- Material Composition: The material composition of the converter may affect the tariff classification.
- Certification: Depending on the application and destination country, specific certifications (e.g., safety, EMC) may be required.
Disclaimer: This classification is based on the limited information provided and the reference data. A final determination should be made by a qualified customs broker or based on a formal ruling from the relevant customs authority.
Customer Reviews
I really appreciated the note about the importance of power output. It clarified why some HS codes are more appropriate than others for similar products.
The information was helpful, but I found it a bit confusing when it came to the breakdown of the HS code numbers. Maybe a visual aid would help.
The detailed classification for 8504406001 was exactly what I needed. It made it easy to understand the tariff implications for my product.
The page provided a solid overview of the HS codes for voltage converters. I would have liked to see a comparison of the tax rates for other countries as well.
The explanation of the difference between 8504406001 and 8504406018 was very clear. This helped me choose the right HS code for my product.
