About heading 8533
Electrical resistors (including rheostats and potentiometers), other than heating resistors; parts thereof
Heading 8533 covers electrical resistors, including rheostats and potentiometers, other than heating resistors, plus their parts. It is split first by fixed versus variable type, then by material and construction, and for fixed and wirewound variable resistors by a 20 W power handling threshold. Parts sit in 8533.90.

Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for surface mount chip resistors?
Flat resistor chips designed for surface mounting with two terminals are classified under 8533.21.00.30, with a general (MFN) rate of Free.
What is the duty on potentiometers and rheostats?
Wirewound variable resistors for a power handling capacity not exceeding 20 W fall under 8533.31.00.00, general (MFN) Free. Other variable resistors, including cermet types, fall under 8533.40.80.50, general (MFN) Free.
How do I classify a resistor network?
A fixed carbon resistor network with more than two terminals designed for surface mounting goes to 8533.10.00.20, general (MFN) Free. A non-carbon network with more than two leads in single-in-line form goes to 8533.21.00.50, general (MFN) Free.
