8536.49.00 - Other

HTS code 8536.49.00 encompasses relays designed for electrical circuits where the voltage does not exceed 1,000 volts, but specifically excludes those rated for 60 volts or less. This category is intended for relays operating at intermediate voltage ranges, typically found in a wide array of industrial, commercial, and residential electrical systems. The key defining factor is the operational voltage, distinguishing these relays from their lower-voltage counterparts.

This classification is distinct from sibling category 8536.41.00, which is exclusively for relays with a voltage rating not exceeding 60 volts. Therefore, any relay with a voltage rating above 60 volts but not exceeding 1,000 volts will fall under 8536.49.00, provided it meets all other criteria for heading 8536.

The subcategories within 8536.49.00 further refine classification based on the current carrying capacity of the relay's contacts. The primary divisions are "With contacts rated at less than 10 A" and "Other," indicating that relays with contact ratings below 10 amperes are segregated for specific accounting or regulatory purposes, while all other relays within this voltage band are grouped together.
