Summary
HS code 8532.21 covers other fixed capacitors, tantalum. It sits in heading 85.32 (electrical capacitors, fixed, variable or adjustable (pre-set)) in chapter 85 (electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles). Other goods of heading 85.32 are classified under 8532.10 (fixed capacitors designed for use in 50/60 Hz circuits and having a reactive power handling capacity of not less than 0,5 kvar (power capacitors)), 8532.22 (other fixed capacitors, aluminium electrolytic), 8532.23 (other fixed capacitors, ceramic dielectric, single layer), 8532.24 (other fixed capacitors, ceramic dielectric, multilayer) or 4 others. National tariff lines under 8532.21 are live on border.bot for the United States (4 lines, also used by 1 other country).
