Frequently Asked Questions

What specific customs risks are associated with importing multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) under HTS 8532.24?

The primary risk is misclassification based on dielectric material or construction, as some ceramic capacitors may be incorrectly declared under other subheadings like 8532.25 (mica) or 8532.29 (other). Customs authorities may also inspect shipments for undervaluation, as MLCCs have a wide price range based on specifications, and for potential anti-dumping duties if the country of origin is subject to such measures.

What are the primary cost factors beyond the product price when importing multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) under HTS 853224?

The key additional costs are the Free Most Favored Nation (MFN) import duty rate and the Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF). For high-value shipments, you may also incur a 0.3464% harbor maintenance fee on the customs value. Note that certain countries have free trade agreements (e.g., USMCA) that can reduce or eliminate the duty rate.
