8532.22.00.55 - Exceeding 35 mm but not exceeding 51 mm in diameter

This HTS category, 8532.22.00.55, specifically classifies aluminum electrolytic fixed capacitors that have a diameter exceeding 35 millimeters but not exceeding 51 millimeters. These capacitors are essential components in a wide range of electrical and electronic circuits, used for storing electrical energy and smoothing voltage fluctuations. Their physical dimension, specifically their diameter within this defined range, is the key distinguishing characteristic for classification under this code.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate import and export declarations. Unlike the 8532.22.00.20 subcategory, which covers capacitors with diameters not exceeding 18 mm, or the 8532.22.00.40 subcategory for diameters up to 35 mm, this category targets a specific mid-range diameter. Similarly, it is distinct from the 8532.22.00.85 subcategory, which applies to aluminum electrolytic capacitors with diameters exceeding 51 mm. Therefore, precise measurement of the capacitor's diameter is paramount for correct classification.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is fully defined by the type of capacitor (aluminum electrolytic, fixed) and its diameter range. Importers and exporters should ensure that the physical dimensions of their goods precisely align with the "exceeding 35 mm but not exceeding 51 mm in diameter" criterion to utilize this specific HTS code.
