About HS Code 853630
This 'not elsewhere specified' category for low-voltage circuit protection covers a diverse range of devices operating at voltages not exceeding 1000 volts, which are not specifically classified as fuses or circuit breakers within 8536. It includes items like thermal overload relays, low-voltage surge protective devices (SPDs), and other specialized protective components used in industrial control panels, motor protection, and sensitive electronic equipment. Importers and exporters are typically electrical component distributors, industrial automation suppliers, and manufacturers of machinery and electronic systems. Key aspects for trade include specific protection functions (e.g., over-temperature, phase loss), response characteristics, and integration capabilities with broader control systems.
Products Under This Code
Thermal overload relays, low-voltage surge protective devices (SPDs), motor protection circuit breakers (MPCBs), earth leakage relays, phase failure relays, current limiting reactors (low voltage), voltage monitoring relays
Real World Examples
Siemens Sirius, Schneider Electric TeSys, ABB Emax 2, Eaton XT, Phoenix Contact VAL-MS
Common Misclassification
This is a residual code, so it's frequently confused with 8536.10 (fuses) or 8536.20 (circuit breakers) if the item has a more precise classification, or even 8535.40 if the voltage is misidentified.
Products Classified Under 8536.30
Industry
This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.
Trade Overview
Countries with strong industrial automation and electronics manufacturing sectors like Germany, China, USA, and Japan are key players.
