HS Code 85045080: Other Inductors, nesoi

Inductors are electronic components that store energy in a magnetic field when an electric current flows through them. They are commonly used in various electrical devices and circuits for applications such as filtering, signal processing, power conversion, and electromagnetic interference suppression.

HS Code 85045080 specifically refers to "Other Inductors, nesoi" which stands for "Not Elsewhere Specified or Included." This code is used to classify and categorize specific types of inductors that do not fall into any other defined subcategories.

The tariff rate for this HS code is 3% under the Most Favored Nation (MFN) duty rate. The MFN duty rate ensures that whenever a country lowers a trade barrier or opens up a market, it must do so for the same goods or services from all its trading partners. This promotes fair and equal trade practices among nations.

The unit of measurement for this HS code is the number (NO), indicating the quantity of inductors being imported or exported.

There are special tariff preference programs available for this HS code. Some of these programs include:

• Generalized System of Preferences (GSP): Provides duty-free treatment for eligible products from developing countries.
• Australia Special Rate: Offers duty-free treatment for specified automotive products under the Automotive Products Trade Act (APTA).
• Bahrain Special Rate: Grants duty-free treatment for certain goods under specific agreements.
• Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft: Provides duty-free treatment for inductors used in civil aircraft.
• NAFTA for Canada: Allows duty-free treatment for eligible goods under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
• Chile Special Rate: Offers duty-free treatment for specified products under specific agreements.
• Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI): Provides duty-free treatment for eligible products from designated Caribbean countries.

When importing goods classified under HS Code 85045080 into the United States, one of the states involved in the trade is South Dakota. This means that South Dakota is either the origin or destination state for the importation of these inductors.

While the exporting US states are not specified in the provided data, it is important to note that the United States is a major exporter of various electronic components, including inductors. These components are in demand globally, and the US has a strong presence in the international market.

Inductors play a crucial role in the functioning of electronic devices and circuits. Understanding the HS code and its associated tariff rates and special tariff preference programs helps facilitate international trade and ensures fair treatment for all trading partners.
