Overview
This HTS category, 8532.22.00.40, specifically covers aluminum electrolytic fixed capacitors that have a diameter exceeding 18 mm but not exceeding 35 mm. These capacitors are a type of electrical component designed to store electrical energy in an electric field. The defining characteristic for classification within this particular code is the precise dimensional range of their diameter, making it a crucial factor for accurate import and export declarations.
It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. If an aluminum electrolytic fixed capacitor has a diameter not exceeding 18 mm, it would be classified under 8532.22.00.20. Conversely, capacitors with larger diameters fall into different sibling categories: 8532.22.00.55 (exceeding 35 mm but not exceeding 51 mm) and 8532.22.00.85 (exceeding 51 mm). Therefore, the 18 mm to 35 mm diameter range is the sole differentiator at this level.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification into 8532.22.00.40 is definitive based on the preceding hierarchical classifications (electrical capacitors, fixed, aluminum electrolytic) and the specific diameter criteria outlined. Importers and exporters must ensure accurate measurement of the capacitor's diameter to correctly apply this tariff code.
