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, 8533.21.00.40, encompasses cylindrical leadless electrical resistors designed for a power handling capacity not exceeding 20 watts. These resistors are characterized by their cylindrical form and the absence of external lead wires for connection, relying instead on direct contact. This description includes common types such as metal film, metal oxide, and thick cement film resistors that fit this physical configuration and power rating.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8533.21.00.30, is crucial. While the sibling specifically covers "flat resistor chips," this category focuses on resistors with a cylindrical body. The absence of leads is a key defining feature for both, but the geometric shape differentiates them. This distinction is based on distinct manufacturing processes and intended mounting methods, even though both are fixed resistors with a power capacity under 20W designed for surface mounting.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within this code is on verifying that the cylindrical leadless resistor possesses a power handling capacity not exceeding 20 watts and is intended for surface mounting. Examples include cylindrical chip resistors where connection is made directly to the termination pads on the component body.
