U.S. imports of electrical switches, not exceeding 1,000 v (nesoi) (HS 853650) totaled $255.8M in April 2026, traded with 82 countries.
Importers of Electrical Switches, Not Exceeding 1,000 V (NESOI) paid $22.1M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $167.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCovering the broadest range of low-voltage switching devices outside of relays and circuit breakers, this heading encompasses motor starters, rotary switches, push-button switches, snap-action switches, knife switches, slide switches, limit switches, and AC solid-state switches — each with its own dedicated or residual 10-digit tariff line. The fourteen US lines under this heading reflect the commercial diversity of the product space, with construction type (rotary, push-button, snap-action, knife, slide, limit) and current rating serving as the primary classification axes. Mexico and China together dominate US supply, with Japan and Germany representing precision-engineering suppliers for industrial and specialty switch types. Section 301 measures apply to Chinese-origin goods, a significant consideration given China's role in this heading.

Both rotary and push-button switches are split by current rating at 5 amperes. Rotary switches rated at or below 5 A fall under 8536509020, while those rated above 5 A use 8536509025. Push-button switches at or below 5 A are further subdivided by type — momentary (8536509031), gang-type (8536509032), and other (8536509033) — while those rated above 5 A use 8536509035. Importers should confirm both the rated current and the switch's actuation mechanism from the product datasheet.
AC switches with optically coupled input and output rated below 11 amperes have a dedicated provision at 8536507000. These solid-state devices — sometimes called solid-state relays in trade — are distinguished from electromechanical switches by their optical isolation mechanism and from relays by their classification in the switches heading. Importers of optocoupled AC switches should use this specific line rather than a broader NESOI provision, provided the current rating falls within the specified threshold.
