HS Code Classification for "PIEZO ELEMENT"
Based on the provided reference data, the classification of "PIEZO ELEMENT" falls under Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recording or reproducing apparatus, television-image multiplier tubes; parts and accessories of such articles. Specifically, within this chapter, it relates to semiconductor devices and mounted piezoelectric crystals. Here's a breakdown of potential HS codes:
-
8541.60.00.10: Mounted piezoelectric crystals Quartz designed for operating frequencies of
32.768 kHz - 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.
- 41: Semiconductor devices.
- 60: Mounted piezoelectric crystals.
- 00: Further specification.
- 10: Quartz crystals specifically designed for frequencies below 32.768 kHz. This code applies if the piezo element is a quartz crystal operating at this specific frequency, commonly used in watches and timing circuits.
-
8541.60.00.80: Mounted piezoelectric crystals Other
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.
- 41: Semiconductor devices.
- 60: Mounted piezoelectric crystals.
- 00: Further specification.
- 80: All other mounted piezoelectric crystals. This code applies if the piezo element is not a quartz crystal, or if it operates at a frequency other than 32.768 kHz.
Tax Rate Details (for both codes):
- Basic Tariff: 0.0%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Additional Tariff (after April 2, 2025): 30.0%
- Total Tariff: 55.0%
Important Considerations:
- Frequency Specification: The operating frequency of the piezo element is crucial for correct classification. If it's specifically designed for 32.768 kHz, use 8541.60.00.10. Otherwise, 8541.60.00.80 is more appropriate.
- Material Composition: Confirm the material of the piezo element (e.g., quartz, ceramic).
- Application: The intended use of the piezo element may influence classification.
- Certification: Depending on the application (e.g., medical devices, automotive), specific certifications might be required for import.
- Unit Price: The unit price can sometimes affect tariff classifications, especially if it's unusually high or low for similar products.
Recommendation:
Please provide more details about the piezo element's frequency, material, and intended application to ensure the most accurate HS code classification. It is always best to consult with a licensed customs broker or the relevant customs authority for definitive guidance.
