Fuses for Electrical Apparatus, Not Exceeding 1,000 V imports of $44.4M in July 2026 ran 16% above the year-to-date monthly average of $38.3M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataLow-voltage fuses — the most fundamental form of overcurrent protection in electrical systems — are widely traded components used across consumer electronics, automotive, industrial controls, and building wiring applications. The US schedule distinguishes glass cartridge fuses (8536100020) from all other types (8536100040), a material-and-construction split that captures the dominant cartridge form factor separately from blade, ceramic, and specialty fuse designs. Mexico is the leading supplier, followed by China and Japan; goods from China are subject to Section 301 tariff measures, which has driven sourcing diversification toward Mexico and the Philippines. Volume and current rating are the key specification parameters that buyers and customs brokers should document carefully.

Subheading 853610 · $44.4M of $1.5B
Glass cartridge fuses — characterized by a cylindrical glass body with metal end caps — are specifically enumerated under 8536100020. All other fuse constructions, including ceramic cartridge, blade-type, and specialty fuses rated at or below 1,000 V, fall under the residual line 8536100040. The distinction is based on the body material and physical form, not the current or voltage rating.
Because China is a major producer of low-voltage fuses and goods of Chinese origin in this heading are subject to Section 301 measures, many importers have shifted procurement toward Mexico and the Philippines, both of which appear among the top US suppliers. This shift has also prompted closer scrutiny of country-of-origin determinations, particularly for fuses assembled from components sourced across multiple countries.
