Patch Cable HS Code Classification
Based on the provided information, patch cables fall under the category of insulated electric conductors and cables. Here's a breakdown of potential HS codes, with explanations to help determine the most accurate classification:
-
8544421000: Insulated (including enameled or anodized) wire, cable (including coaxial cable) and other insulated electric conductors, whether or not fitted with connectors; optical fiber cables, made up of individually sheathed fibers, whether or not assembled with electric conductors or fitted with connectors: Other electric conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V: Fitted with connectors: Fitted with modular telephone connectors.
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment; parts thereof.
- 44: Insulated conductors, cables, etc.
- 42: Other electric conductors, voltage ≤ 1,000 V
- 10: Fitted with connectors (modular telephone connectors) – This is suitable if the patch cable specifically uses RJ45 or similar telephone-style connectors.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%, Total Tariff: 55.0%
-
8544422000: Insulated (including enameled or anodized) wire, cable (including coaxial cable) and other insulated electric conductors, whether or not fitted with connectors; optical fiber cables, made up of individually sheathed fibers, whether or not assembled with electric conductors or fitted with connectors: Other electric conductors, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V: Fitted with connectors: Other: Of a kind used for telecommunications.
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment; parts thereof.
- 44: Insulated conductors, cables, etc.
- 42: Other electric conductors, voltage ≤ 1,000 V
- 20: Fitted with connectors, used for telecommunications – This is appropriate if the cable is designed for data or voice communication networks, but doesn't exclusively use telephone connectors.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%, Total Tariff: 55.0%
Important Considerations:
- Connector Type: The specific type of connector on the patch cable is crucial for accurate classification. RJ45 connectors (commonly used for Ethernet) would lean towards 8544421000 or 8544422000.
- Voltage Rating: Ensure the cable's voltage rating does not exceed 1,000 V.
- Application: If the patch cable is specifically marketed for telecommunications (data networks, VoIP, etc.), 8544422000 might be more appropriate.
Recommendation:
Based on the limited information, both 8544421000 and 8544422000 are potential classifications. To determine the most accurate HS code, please provide the following:
- Connector Type: (e.g., RJ45, BNC, etc.)
- Cable Specification: (Voltage, conductor material, shielding type)
- Intended Use: (Data networking, telecommunications, other)
