What determines the tariff number?
- Electronic component type. Quartz oscillators are classified as electronic components. Whether active or passive, and the presence of integrated functions, significantly affects the correct HS code assignment.
- Housing material and composition. The material of the housing—plastic, metal, or ceramic—and any precious metal plating directly influence the tariff classification and must be accurately specified.
- Packaging format. How the oscillator is packaged matters: individual units, tape-and-reel format, or specialty trays may result in different classifications within the electronic components category.
- Integration and additional functions. Oscillators with integrated circuits or filter components are classified differently from simple quartz crystals without additional circuitry.
