About HS Code 853290
This heading specifically covers parts of the electrical capacitors classified under heading 8532. This includes components such as capacitor housings, terminals, dielectric films cut to size, electrodes, and mounting hardware, provided they are identifiable as solely or principally for use with capacitors. The international trade in these parts supports the global capacitor manufacturing industry, enabling specialized production of components in one region and final assembly in another. Importers are typically capacitor manufacturers or contract electronics manufacturers. Exporters are often specialized suppliers of raw materials or semi-finished components. Key trade considerations include material specifications, precision engineering, and compliance with relevant industry standards for capacitor assembly, ensuring compatibility and performance in the final product.
Products Under This Code
Capacitor housings, capacitor terminals, dielectric films (cut), capacitor electrodes, mounting brackets for capacitors, capacitor lead frames, capacitor seals, capacitor covers
Real World Examples
Aluminum cans for electrolytic capacitors, ceramic substrates for MLCCs, plastic casings for film capacitors, lead wires for through-hole capacitors
Common Misclassification
Often confused with general electronic component parts (852990 or 854890) or raw materials (e.g., plastic film in 3920) if they are not clearly identifiable as parts *solely or principally* for capacitors of heading 8532.
Industry
This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.
Trade Overview
China, Japan, and South Korea are major exporters of these parts, supporting global capacitor manufacturing, with the USA and Germany being significant importers.
