About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category encompasses aluminum electrolytic fixed capacitors that have a diameter exceeding 51 millimeters. These capacitors are characterized by their construction using an electrolyte to form the dielectric layer, and their relatively large physical dimension, specifically measuring over 51 mm across their diameter. They are employed in a wide range of electrical and electronic circuits where significant capacitance values are required, often in power supply filtering, energy storage, and motor starting applications.

This specific classification distinguishes itself from its sibling categories based on a precise physical measurement: the diameter of the capacitor. Categories 8532.22.00.20, 8532.22.00.40, and 8532.22.00.55 represent aluminum electrolytic capacitors with progressively smaller diameter ranges (not exceeding 18 mm, exceeding 18 mm but not exceeding 35 mm, and exceeding 35 mm but not exceeding 51 mm, respectively). Therefore, the critical determinant for classification under 8532.22.00.85 is that the diameter must be strictly greater than 51 mm.

As this node is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive for aluminum electrolytic fixed capacitors of this specified diameter. Examples of products that would fall here include large radial-lead or screw-terminal aluminum electrolytic capacitors used in industrial power supplies, high-power audio amplifiers, or heavy-duty electrical equipment where substantial filtering or energy storage is necessitated.
