U.S. exports of fixed resistors (not elsewhere specified), power handling capacity not exceeding 20 w (HS 853321) totaled $49.8M in July 2026.
Importers of Fixed Resistors (Not Elsewhere Specified), Power Handling Capacity Not Exceeding 20 W paid $4.0M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $32.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataNon-carbon fixed resistors rated at 20 watts or below — including metal film, metal oxide, thick-film, and wirewound types not classified elsewhere — are among the most widely traded passive components in electronics supply chains, appearing in consumer, industrial, automotive, and telecommunications assemblies. The heading's twelve 10-digit lines segment imports by mounting style (SMD vs. through-hole), terminal count, package geometry (flat resistor caps, cylindrical leadless, dual-in-line, single-line), and construction (wirewound vs. other), making precise classification critical for correct duty assessment. Japan and Taiwan are leading suppliers, with Israel notable for precision and specialty resistor types. Chinese-origin goods under this heading may carry Section 301 exposure, and Mexico's presence reflects nearshore manufacturing for the North American electronics industry.

The schedule distinguishes surface-mount devices (SMD) from through-hole parts, then further splits SMD types by terminal count (two terminals vs. more than two) and body shape — flat resistor caps (8533210030) and cylindrical leadless packages (8533210040) each have dedicated lines. Through-hole parts are separated into single-in-line, dual-in-line, wirewound two-lead (8533210080), and residual categories. Misidentifying the package geometry is a common classification error.
Israel hosts established precision resistor manufacturers specializing in high-stability, tight-tolerance metal film and foil types used in aerospace, defense, and instrumentation applications — market segments where standard commodity resistors from East Asian volume producers are not always acceptable substitutes.
