8536.50.90.33 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 8536.50.90.33, encompasses "Other" push-button switches rated at not over 5 Amperes. These are electrical switches activated by manual pressure, designed to interrupt or complete an electrical circuit, and specifically fall outside the more defined sub-classifications of momentary contact switches or gang switches. Their primary function is to control electrical flow based on the user pressing a button, where the button returns to its original position once released or when a specific state is maintained.

While the broader category of "Other switches" under 8536.50.90 includes a variety of manual switches not specifically covered elsewhere, this particular sub-classification focuses on push-button types. It distinguishes itself from sibling categories such as momentary contact switches (8536.50.90.31), which return to their normal position when pressure is released, and "Other, gang switches" (8536.50.90.32), which involve multiple switches operated by a single mechanism. The defining characteristic here is the "other" nature within the push-button, 5A rating scope, implying a more specialized or less common type of push-button switch that doesn't fit the momentary contact description.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification decision rests on accurately identifying a push-button switch that is rated at not over 5 Amperes and does not align with the specific definitions of momentary contact or gang switches. Examples could include certain types of latching push-button switches, or push-button switches with unique operational characteristics that do not fit the more specific momentary or gang switch descriptions within this electrical rating. The crucial elements for classification are the push-button actuation, the electrical rating not exceeding 5 Amperes, and the absence of features that would place it in a more specific sibling category.
