Overview

Heading 8532 encompasses a wide array of electrical capacitors, which are essential components in electronic circuits for storing electrical energy. This category includes both fixed capacitors, whose capacitance value is set and does not change during operation, and variable or adjustable capacitors, which allow for the intentional alteration of their capacitance. The classification also extends to the various parts and accessories specifically designed for these capacitors.

When classifying within heading 8532, it's important to distinguish these electrical components from other articles classified under Section XVI. For instance, while Chapter 85 deals with electrical machinery and equipment, heading 8532 is specific to the passive electronic component known as a capacitor. It is distinct from active electronic components, power generation equipment, or transmission apparatus.

The subcategories within 8532 provide further detail to facilitate precise classification. The distinction between 8532.10 (power capacitors for 50/60 Hz circuits) and other fixed capacitors highlights the importance of intended application and technical specifications. Similarly, the separation of variable or adjustable capacitors (8532.30) from fixed types is based on their functional adjustability. Finally, a dedicated subheading for parts (8532.90) ensures that components solely for the repair or manufacture of capacitors are appropriately categorized.
