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.
Customer Reviews
The information is accurate and well-structured. It would have been even better if the page included a checklist for verifying the correct HS code based on frequency and material.
This page saved me hours of research. The HS code breakdown for piezo elements is spot-on, and the tax rate details are very helpful for export planning.
The tariff rates and effective dates were clearly listed. I especially appreciated the note about the frequency affecting the classification. Would have been better if there were examples of other materials.
Great breakdown of HS codes for piezo elements. The detailed explanation of 8541.60.00.10 and 8541.60.00.80 helped me choose the right code for my product.
