U.S. imports of parts for electrical capacitors (HS 853290) totaled $3.0M in April 2026, traded with 27 countries.
Importers of Parts for Electrical Capacitors paid $181K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $1.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataDedicated parts for electrical capacitors — including dielectric films, electrode foils, terminal assemblies, and other subcomponents not themselves constituting complete capacitors — are consolidated into a single 10-digit line, 8532900000, under this heading. Japan leads US supply, followed by Mexico and Germany, reflecting the vertically integrated capacitor manufacturing ecosystems in those countries where parts production and finished-goods assembly often occur in proximity. Correct classification requires confirming that the goods are parts specifically for capacitors rather than general electronic materials that might classify elsewhere in Section XVI.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Parts classification under 8532900000 requires that the goods be identifiable as parts specifically designed for use in electrical capacitors — for example, pre-cut electrode foils or dielectric film rolls manufactured to capacitor-grade tolerances. General-purpose metallized film or aluminum foil that has broader industrial uses would typically classify under its own material heading rather than as a capacitor part. Technical specifications and end-use documentation are key to supporting the parts classification.
Under GRI 2(a), an incomplete or unfinished article classifies as the complete article if it has the essential character of the finished good. A capacitor body that lacks only a terminal but is otherwise functionally complete may be classified as a complete capacitor rather than a part. This is a fact-specific determination; importers in this situation should consider requesting a CBP binding ruling to avoid misclassification risk.
