8532.25.00.80 - Other

This HTS category, 8532.25.00.80, encompasses fixed capacitors whose dielectric material is paper or plastics, and which are not specifically classified under the "leadless," "axial leads," or "radial leads" subcategories. These capacitors are characterized by their construction, utilizing paper or plastic films as the insulating dielectric layer between conductive plates. This group includes a diverse range of fixed capacitors not fitting into more specific lead configurations, often found in various electronic circuits for energy storage, filtering, and decoupling.

The distinction for this category lies in the absence of specific lead configurations. Unlike capacitors with axial leads (8532.25.00.60) or radial leads (8532.25.00.70), which are categorized by the direction and placement of their connecting wires, the "Other" designation here covers fixed paper or plastic dielectric capacitors that may have different mounting styles, such as surface mount designs, tab terminals, or other non-standard lead arrangements, or where the lead configuration does not align with the defined axial or radial types.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Classification within 8532.25.00.80 is determined by the presence of a paper or plastic dielectric and the exclusion from the more precisely defined lead types. Importers and exporters should carefully examine the physical characteristics and lead structure of their fixed capacitors to ensure accurate classification.
