HTS 8541 Tariff

HTS 8541 classifies "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:" 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

What is this HTS code?

This is a US Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code that classifies "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:". It determines base duty rates for imports; additional duties may apply by country of origin.

Does origin affect duty?

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.

How do I compute total 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.
