Tubular Cable Terminals HS Code Classification
Based on the provided reference data, here's a classification of "Tubular Cable Terminals" with potential HS codes, along with detailed explanations:
1. 8544421000 – Insulated Wire/Cable Connectors (Voltage ≤ 1,000V)
- 85: Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits.
- 44: Insulated (including enameled or anodized) wire, cable (including coaxial cable) and other insulated electric conductors, whether or not fitted with connectors.
- 42: Fitted with connectors.
-
10: Specifically for modular telephone connectors.
- Applicability: If the tubular cable terminals are pre-fitted with connectors, particularly those used in telecommunications (e.g., RJ45 connectors), this HS code is highly relevant.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post-April 2, 2025: 30% (Total: 55.0%).
2. 8544422000 – Other Insulated Wire/Cable Connectors (Voltage ≤ 1,000V)
- 85: Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits.
- 44: Insulated (including enameled or anodized) wire, cable (including coaxial cable) and other insulated electric conductors, whether or not fitted with connectors.
- 42: Fitted with connectors.
-
20: Other, specifically of a kind used for telecommunications.
- Applicability: If the terminals are pre-fitted with connectors not specifically for modular telephone connectors, but are used in telecommunications applications.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post-April 2, 2025: 30% (Total: 55.0%).
3. 8536904000 – Other Electrical Circuit Apparatus (Voltage ≤ 1,000V)
- 85: Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits.
- 36: Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits.
- 90: Other apparatus.
-
40: Terminals, electrical splices and electrical couplings; wafer probers.
- Applicability: If the terminals are not pre-fitted with connectors and are considered basic electrical connection components.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post-April 2, 2025: 30% (Total: 55.0%).
4. 7326908688 – Other Articles of Iron or Steel
- 73: Articles of iron or steel.
- 26: Other articles of iron or steel.
- 90: Other.
- 86: Other.
-
88: Other.
- Applicability: If the terminals are made of iron or steel and are not specifically classified as electrical components.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 2.9%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post-April 2, 2025: 30% (Total: 82.9%). Note the base tariff here.
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material: The composition of the tubular cable terminals is crucial. Iron or steel components will fall under HS code 7326908688.
- Connectors: Whether the terminals are pre-fitted with connectors significantly impacts the HS code.
- Voltage Rating: Confirm the voltage rating of the terminals. The codes above are for ≤ 1,000V.
- Application: The specific application (e.g., telecommunications, automotive, general electrical) can help narrow down the correct classification.
- Certification: Depending on the application, specific certifications (e.g., UL, CE) may be required for import.
- Single Invoice: If the invoice contains multiple items, it is important to classify each item separately.
Disclaimer: HS code classification is complex and subject to interpretation. This information is for guidance only. It is recommended to consult with a customs broker or relevant authority for a definitive classification.
