8535.90.80 - Other

This HTS classification, 8535.90.80, covers "Other" electrical apparatus for switching, protecting, or making connections in electrical circuits for voltages exceeding 1,000 V, when these items do not fit into more specific subheadings. It acts as a residual category for devices that perform these essential electrical functions but are not specifically enumerated elsewhere within heading 8535.

While heading 8535.90.40.00 specifically addresses motor starters and motor overload protectors, this subheading encompasses a broader range of electrical connection and protection devices. It is intended for items not covered by more specific designations, such as specialized connectors, protective devices not specifically defined as starters or overload protectors, or other junction and termination components used in high-voltage electrical systems.

To further refine the classification of goods under 8535.90.80, several subcategories exist. These include 8535.90.80.20 for electrical terminals, splices, and couplings, which are used to join conductors. Additionally, 8535.90.80.40 pertains to other types of connectors beyond those in the splices and couplings category. Finally, 8535.90.80.60 serves as a further residual for any remaining items that fall under the broader "Other" description but are not specifically categorized in the preceding subheadings.
