U.S. imports of electrical plugs and sockets for voltage not exceeding 1,000 v (HS 853669) totaled $312.1M in May 2026, traded with 76 countries.
Importers of Electrical Plugs and Sockets for Voltage Not Exceeding 1,000 V paid $36.8M in duties in May 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $226.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: May 2026 dataPlugs, sockets, and low-voltage connectors rated at or below 1,000 V serve as critical interconnects across electronics, automotive, industrial automation, and telecommunications infrastructure. The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading into seven distinct 10-digit lines, separating coaxial connectors (8536694010), cylindrical multicontact types (8536694020), rack-and-panel connectors (8536694030), printed circuit connectors (8536694040), ribbon/flat cable connectors (8536694051), and two residual plug-and-socket categories (8536695050 and 8536698000) — making precise connector-type identification essential at entry. Mexico leads US import supply, followed by China and Taiwan, reflecting both nearshore electronics manufacturing and deep Asian connector supply chains. Goods of Chinese origin in this heading are subject to Section 301 tariffs, and the connector type must be matched to the correct 10-digit line to avoid reclassification risk.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Rack-and-panel connectors (8536694030) are designed to mate two chassis or panel-mounted assemblies and typically feature housings engineered for repeated blind-mating. Printed circuit connectors (8536694040) are designed to terminate directly onto a PCB, either through-hole or surface-mount. The intended mounting method and mating interface are the primary classification criteria.
Section 301 measures broadly cover electrical connectors of Chinese origin under this heading, but the applicable list and any product-specific exclusions can vary by 10-digit HTS line. Importers should verify the current exclusion status for each specific connector type with a licensed customs broker before filing entry.
