SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of parts of electrical capacitors (SITC 77869) totaled $3.5M in July 2026, traded with 29 countries.
Importers of Parts of Electrical Capacitors paid $223K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $1.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Parts of Electrical Capacitors imports of $3.5M in July 2026 ran 12% above the year-to-date monthly average of $3.1M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataDedicated parts for electrical capacitors — including electrode foils, dielectric films, terminal leads, and housings — occupy a distinct SITC heading separate from the finished capacitors themselves, reflecting their role as inputs to capacitor manufacturing rather than end-use components. Trade in these parts is closely tied to the global capacitor production supply chain, where foil and film suppliers in Japan and Taiwan serve manufacturers across Asia. Section 301 tariffs on Chinese-origin parts add landed-cost complexity for US importers sourcing from integrated Chinese capacitor factories.

Basic heading 77869 · $3.5M of $175.6B
Classification as a capacitor part requires that the article be identifiable as principally or solely used in capacitor construction — for example, aluminum electrode foil with etched surface area, or polypropylene film cut to capacitor-grade tolerances. General-purpose foil or film not dedicated to capacitor use would typically classify elsewhere. A binding ruling from CBP can resolve ambiguous cases.
Yes — replacement terminals, end caps, and other service parts for capacitors in existing equipment fall under this heading provided they are identifiable as capacitor parts. However, if the part is more specifically described as a part of a particular type of electrical apparatus (e.g., a power converter), the more specific apparatus-parts heading may take precedence under HTS classification rules.
