About heading 8537
Boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets and other bases, equipped with two or more apparatus of heading 8535 or 8536, for electric control or the distribution of electricity, including those incorporating instruments or apparatus of chapter 90, and numerical control apparatus, other than switching apparatus of heading 8517
Heading 8537 covers complete assemblies that combine two or more switching, protecting, or connecting devices of heading 8535 or 8536 for electric control or distribution. It is split first by voltage: not exceeding 1,000 V under 8537.10 and exceeding 1,000 V under 8537.20. Within the low-voltage group, lines distinguish motor control centers, touch screens without display, switchgear assemblies, numerical controls, panel boards, programmable controllers, and other assemblies.
