About heading 8541

Semiconductor devices (for example, diodes, transistors, semiconductor-based transducers); photosensitive semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic cells whether or not assembled in modules or made up into panels; light-emitting diodes (LED), whether or not assembled with other light-emitting diodes (LED); mounted piezo-electric crystals; parts thereof

Heading 8541 covers semiconductor devices and photosensitive semiconductor devices, including LEDs and photovoltaic cells, plus mounted piezo-electric crystals and parts. The heading splits first by device type: diodes, transistors, thyristors, photosensitive and LED devices, other semiconductor devices, crystals, and parts. Every declarable line in this heading carries a general (MFN) duty rate of Free.

Frequently asked questions

What is the HTS code for a light-emitting diode (LED)?

LEDs are classified under 8541.41.00.00, which carries a general (MFN) rate of Free.

What is the duty on photovoltaic cells assembled in modules or panels?

Crystalline silicon cells assembled in modules are classified under 8541.43.00.10 with a general (MFN) rate of Free. Other assembled cells go under 8541.43.00.80, also Free.

How do I classify a transistor with a dissipation rate under 1 W?

Unmounted chips, dice and wafers go under 8541.21.00.40. Finished parts with an operating frequency of 100 MHz or more go under 8541.21.00.75, and other finished parts under 8541.21.00.95; all three carry a general (MFN) rate of Free.
