8532.90.00.00 - Parts

This HTS code, 8532.90.00.00, specifically covers parts for electrical capacitors, whether they are fixed, variable, or adjustable. This broad category encompasses components that are essential to the construction and functionality of all types of capacitors classified under heading 8532. Examples of such parts include dielectric materials, electrodes, casings, terminals, and other internal or external elements specifically designed for incorporation into a capacitor.

When classifying parts, it is crucial to differentiate them from complete capacitors. Unlike the sibling categories 8532.10 (power capacitors), the various subheadings for other fixed capacitors (under 8532.21 to 8532.29), and variable or adjustable capacitors (8532.30), this code is exclusively for the individual components of these devices. The determining factor for classification here is that the item is not a functional, standalone capacitor but rather a constituent element.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under 8532.90.00.00. Therefore, the classification within this code relies on identifying the item as a distinct part intended for use in any capacitor falling within the broader heading 8532. If an item is designed for a specific type of capacitor, it would still be classified here as a part, provided it is not a complete capacitor itself.
