HS 2022 subheading

HS code 8541.29: Transistors

HS code 8541.29 covers: Electrical apparatus; transistors, (other than photosensitive), with a dissipation rate of 1W or more. It is a subheading of heading 8541, in chapter 85.

Where 8541.29 sits in the tariff

The first six digits are the same in every country that uses the Harmonized System. Countries and regions add their own digits after them.
