8538.90.81 - Other

This category, HTS Code 8538.90.81, encompasses "Other" parts and accessories not specifically enumerated within the broader heading 8538 that are suitable for use solely or principally with the electrical apparatus of headings 8535, 8536, or 8537. This generally includes components and subassemblies that do not fit into more specific subheadings, such as molded parts. The defining characteristic is their intended application with electrical switchgear, control gear, or electrical boards.

Distinguished from its sibling category, 8538.90.60 (Molded parts), this classification is for parts that are not primarily manufactured through molding processes or where their primary material composition or function doesn't align with molded components. For instance, fabricated metal brackets, stamped enclosures, or assembled wiring harnesses intended for specific switchgear would fall here if not specifically provided for elsewhere.

The subcategories under 8538.90.81 further refine this classification. The primary subdivision, 8538.90.81.20, specifically addresses "Of automatic circuit breakers," indicating that parts exclusively designed for these devices will be categorized there. The remaining "Other" subdivision serves as a residual category for any remaining parts and accessories not falling into the automatic circuit breaker subcategory or other more granular classifications within heading 8538.
