Overview
This HTS subheading, 8536.50.90.35, encompasses a specific type of electrical switch designed for making and breaking electrical circuits. These switches are characterized by their "push-button" operational mechanism. The key distinguishing feature of this category is that these push-button switches are rated for currents exceeding 5 Amperes (A). This signifies their suitability for applications requiring higher electrical load capacity compared to lighter-duty switches.
The primary differentiator for this classification is the current rating. While all entries under "Other switches: Other: Other: Push-button" are activated by pressing a button, this specific subheading is reserved for those designed to handle currents greater than 5 A. Its sibling category, also at the same level, covers push-button switches rated at 5 A or less. Therefore, the critical factor in determining classification here is the amperage rating of the switch.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories for this specific HTS code. The classification is complete at this level based on the described features: it is an electrical switch for circuits not exceeding 1,000 V, it is of the "other switches" type, not specifically covered by prior subheadings, it is "other" within that, it is operated by a push-button, and crucially, it is rated at over 5 Amperes.
