8533.29.00.00 - Other

This HTS category, 8533.29.00.00, encompasses "Other" fixed electrical resistors not classified under the preceding subheading. This includes fixed resistors with a power handling capacity exceeding 20 Watts. These resistors are designed to dissipate electrical energy as heat and are typically constructed from resistive materials like carbon composition, metal film, wire wound, or thick/thin film deposited on ceramic or other substrates. Their primary function is to impede the flow of electric current in a circuit.

The key distinction for items falling under 8533.29.00.00 lies in their power handling capacity. Unlike the sibling category 8533.21.00, which specifically covers fixed resistors with a power handling capacity not exceeding 20 Watts, this subheading is reserved for those resistors that are rated for power dissipation greater than 20 Watts. This difference in power rating is a crucial factor in determining the correct classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for fixed resistors under this specific code. Classification under 8533.29.00.00 is therefore final for those fixed resistors that are not of a type for a power handling capacity not exceeding 20 W. Examples of resistors that would fall here include high-power wirewound resistors used in industrial power supplies, braking resistors for electric motors, and large ceramic resistors for power management applications.
