About heading 8536
Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits (for example, switches, relays, fuses, surge suppressors, plugs, sockets, lamp-holders and other connectors, junction boxes), for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V; connectors for optical fibers, optical fiber bundles or cables
Heading 8536 covers electrical apparatus for switching, protecting, or connecting electrical circuits at not more than 1,000 V, plus connectors for optical fibers. It is split by device type: fuses, circuit breakers, protective apparatus, relays, other switches, lamp-holders, plugs and sockets, optical fiber connectors, and other apparatus. Several lines carry a 2.7% general (MFN) rate, while many connector, switch, and other apparatus lines are Free.
