About this HS Code

HS Code 8536 encompasses electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, for making connections to or in electrical circuits, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 volts. The classification includes detailed subcategories for fuses (8536.10), automatic circuit breakers (8536.20), other protective apparatus (8536.30), relays (8536.41-8536.49), switches (8536.50), lamp-holders/plugs/sockets (8536.61-8536.69), and connectors/junction devices (8536.70-8536.90). This low-voltage electrical control category includes components that enable safe and functional electrical systems. Products range from simple household switches to sophisticated industrial control devices and electronic connectors. Technical specifications focus on current/voltage ratings, interrupting capacity, contact resistance, operational life cycles, and safety certifications. Unlike higher-voltage equipment (HS 8535), these components are designed for common distribution voltages in residential, commercial, and industrial applications below 1,000V. This division represents fundamental building blocks of electrical systems enabling control, protection, and connection functions essential for all powered equipment and electrical distribution networks.
