HTS 8536.50.70.00 Tariff
HTS 8536.50.70.00 classifies "Electronic AC switches consisting of optically coupled input and output circuits (insulated thyristor AC switches); electronic switches, including temperature protected switches, consisting of a transistor and a logic chip (chip-on-chip technology); electromechanical snap-action switches for a current not exceeding 11 amps" in the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Base duty rates below apply to most trade; country of origin can change applicable rates and add additional duties (e.g. Section 301). Use the calculator or API to compute total duty.
- Type: Base HTS
- How to use: Base rates apply to most countries (General/Special). Column 2 applies to non-MFN countries. Additional duties (Section 301, 232, IEEPA) may apply by origin; use the calculator or resolve API to get the full picture.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is a US Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code that classifies "Electronic AC switches consisting of optically coupled input and output circuits (insulated thyristor AC switches); electronic switches, including temperature protected switches, consisting of a transistor and a logic chip (chip-on-chip technology); electromechanical snap-action switches for a current not exceeding 11 amps". It determines base duty rates for imports; additional duties may apply by country of origin.
Yes. General and Special rates apply by trade agreement and origin. Additional duties (Section 301, 232, IEEPA) are origin-specific. Use the tariff calculator or resolve API with an origin to see full duty.
Use our tariff calculator (with HTS and optional origin) or the API endpoint GET /api/v1/tariffs/resolve with hts and origin. The API returns base tariffs and additional measures separately; sum as needed for your use case.
