HS Code 8533Electrical resistors (including rheostats and potentiometers), excluding heating resistors
7 six-digit codes · Heading 32 of 48 in Chapter 85 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
Heading 8533 is finely cut: 7 six-digit codes, 853310 to 853390, all of them under “Electrical resistors (including rheostats and potentiometers), excluding heating resistors”. At that depth it is the exact wording of the code, not of the heading, that settles a classification. The heading is number 32 of 48 in Chapter 85, Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers; television image and sound recorders and reproducers, parts and accessories of such articles, which runs to 296 six-digit codes in all.
