About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This classification, HTS 8541.21.00.95, encompasses transistors, excluding photosensitive transistors, that have a power dissipation rate of less than 1 watt and do not meet the specific criteria of the sibling category. These are typically general-purpose transistors used in a wide array of electronic circuits where low power consumption is a key design consideration. Examples include small signal transistors for amplification or switching in consumer electronics, communication devices, and various control systems.

The primary distinction of this category lies in its exclusion of transistors with an operating frequency not less than 100 MHz, which are classified under HTS 8541.21.00.75. Therefore, if a transistor dissipates less than 1W and its operating frequency falls below 100 MHz, it will generally fall within this "Other" subcategory. The focus for classification here is on the transistor's fundamental characteristics of power dissipation and frequency range.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions within this code rely on confirming that the item is indeed a transistor, has a dissipation rate under 1W, and does not fit into the sibling category based on its operating frequency.
