Common questions
- What is HTS code 8541?
- HTS heading 8541 covers semiconductor devices (for example, diodes, transistors, semiconductor-based transducers); photosensitive semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic cells whether or not assembled in modules or made up into panels; light-emitting diodes (led), whether or not assembled with other light-emitting diodes (led); mounted piezo-electric crystals; parts thereof. It sits in Chapter 85 (electrical machinery and electronics) of the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule and contains 36 tariff lines.
- What is the duty rate for HTS 8541?
- Duty-free under the general rate. The general rate applies to most-favoured-nation trading partners; goods from countries with a free trade agreement may qualify for a reduced or duty-free special rate.
- How many digits does a full HTS code have?
- US import entries require the full 10-digit HTS code. Heading 8541 is the first four digits — the remaining six narrow it down to the specific product, which is what determines the duty rate you actually pay.
