U.S. imports of fixed resistors (not elsewhere specified), power handling capacity exceeding 20 w (HS 853329) totaled $9.2M in May 2026, traded with 40 countries.
Importers of Fixed Resistors (Not Elsewhere Specified), Power Handling Capacity Exceeding 20 W paid $674K in duties in May 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $5.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: May 2026 dataHigh-power fixed resistors rated above 20 watts serve demanding applications such as load banks, braking resistors for motor drives, power supplies, and industrial test equipment, where thermal management and robust construction are paramount. The entire heading resolves to a single 10-digit line (8533290000), so classification disputes typically center on whether a resistor genuinely exceeds 20 W rated capacity or belongs in the sub-20 W heading. Mexico and Costa Rica lead US import supply, reflecting assembly operations by multinational electronics manufacturers in those countries; China is also a significant source and may be subject to Section 301 tariffs.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The manufacturer's datasheet or technical specification sheet showing the rated power dissipation is the primary evidence. CBP may also consider the physical construction — heat-sink mounting provisions, ceramic or wirewound body, and terminal gauge — as corroborating indicators. Importers should retain these documents as part of the entry record.
Yes. Resistors of Chinese origin classified under this heading are generally subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the base MFN rate. Importers should confirm the applicable list and check for any product-specific exclusions before filing entry.
