Backplane Classification & Duty Information
Based on the provided information, classifying a “backplane” requires careful consideration of its function and composition. Here’s a breakdown of potential HS codes, along with detailed explanations:
Important Note: The correct HS code depends heavily on the specific features of the backplane. The following assumes different compositions and functionalities. It is crucial to verify the material and exact function with the supplier.
1. HS Code: 8517690000 – Other apparatus for transmission or reception of voice, images or other data**
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.
- 17: Telephone sets, including smartphones and other telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks; other apparatus for the transmission or reception of voice, images or other data.
- 69: Other apparatus.
- 00: General.
- Applicability: If the backplane is an integral part of a communication device (e.g., a server backplane handling data transmission), this code might be suitable.
- Duty: Base tariff: 0.0%, Additional tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional tariff: 30%. Total tariff: 55.0%.
2. HS Code: 8517790000 – Parts of telephone sets**
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.
- 17: Telephone sets, including smartphones and other telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks; other apparatus for the transmission or reception of voice, images or other data.
- 79: Parts.
- 00: General.
- Applicability: If the backplane is specifically designed as a component for telephone sets or communication apparatus, this is a strong candidate.
- Duty: Base tariff: 0.0%, Additional tariff: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional tariff: 30%, Steel/Aluminum additional tariff: 25%. Total tariff: 62.5%.
3. HS Code: 8548000000 – Electrical parts of machinery or apparatus**
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.
- 48: Electrical parts of machinery or apparatus.
- 00: General.
- Applicability: If the backplane functions as a general electrical component within a larger machine or apparatus, this code could apply. This is likely if it's primarily a connector board with electrical pathways.
- Duty: Base tariff: 0.0%, Additional tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional tariff: 30%. Total tariff: 55.0%.
4. HS Code: 8487900080 – Machinery parts, not containing electrical connectors, insulators, coils, contacts or other electrical features**
- 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.
- 87: Parts of machinery.
- 90: Other.
- 08: Other.
- Applicability: If the backplane is a purely mechanical component without significant electrical features (e.g., a chassis supporting other components), this code might be appropriate.
- Duty: Base tariff: 3.9%, Additional tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional tariff: 30%, Steel/Aluminum additional tariff: 25%. Total tariff: 83.9%.
5. HS Code: 8487900040 – Machinery parts, not containing electrical connectors, insulators, coils, contacts or other electrical features**
- 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.
- 87: Parts of machinery.
- 90: Other.
- 40: Other Oil seals, other than those of chapter 40.
- Applicability: If the backplane is a purely mechanical component without significant electrical features and contains oil seals, this code might be appropriate.
- Duty: Base tariff: 3.9%, Additional tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional tariff: 30%. Total tariff: 58.9%.
Important Reminders:
- Material Composition: The presence of steel or aluminum will trigger an additional 25% tariff under certain HS codes (8517790000, 8487900080).
- Functionality: The primary function of the backplane is crucial for accurate classification.
- Detailed Specifications: Provide detailed technical specifications to customs for a definitive classification.
- Certification: Depending on the end-use application, specific certifications might be required.
- Date of Import: Be mindful of the 2025.4.2 date, as tariffs will change after this point.
Recommendation:
It is highly recommended to consult with a customs broker or obtain a binding ruling from customs authorities to ensure accurate classification and avoid potential penalties. Provide a detailed description of the backplane, its material composition, and its intended use.
