N355125 November 4, 2025 CLA-2-85:OT:RR:NC:N2:212 CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO.: 8536.90.8585; 9903.02.60 Pamela Perez Infinite Electronics Inc. 301 Leora Ln Lewisville, TX 75056 RE: The tariff classification of an RF Termination from Taiwan Dear Ms. Perez: In your letter dated October 21, 2025, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The merchandise under consideration is identified by part number PE6TR1118 and described as a Radio Frequency (RF) Termination. The subject device is barrel-shaped with a female Sub-Miniature Push-on (SMP) RF coaxial connector on one side and the opposite end is a solid metal cap, which seals the internal components. The entire body of the device is made with gold-plated beryllium copper. The device is connected to an unused port within an RF system and absorbs unwanted RF signals, converting the signals to heat which is dissipated through the system. This protects the system by allowing for impedance matching, signal absorption, energy conversion, and reflection prevention. The applicable subheading for the RF Termination, part number PE6TR1118, will be 8536.90.8585, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), "Electrical apparatus…for making connections to or in electrical circuits…for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V: Other apparatus: Other: Other." The general rate of duty will be Free. Effective April 5, 2025, Executive Orders implemented “Reciprocal Tariffs.” All imported merchandise must be reported with either the Chapter 99 provision under which the reciprocal tariff applies or one of the Chapter 99 provisions covering exceptions to the reciprocal tariffs. At this time, products of Taiwan will be subject to an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 20 percent. At the time of entry, you must report the Chapter 99 heading applicable to your product classification, i.e. 9903.02.60, in addition to subheading 8536.90.8585, HTSUS, listed above.
