# HS code 8532.25: Other fixed capacitors, dielectric of paper or plastics

> HS code 8532.25 covers other fixed capacitors, dielectric of paper or plastics. It sits in heading 85.32 (electrical capacitors, fixed, variable or adjustable (pre-set)) in chapter 85 (electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles). Other goods of heading 85.32 are classified under 8532.10 (fixed capacitors designed for use in 50/60 Hz circuits and having a reactive power handling capacity of not less than 0,5 kvar (power capacitors)), 8532.21 (other fixed capacitors, tantalum), 8532.22 (other fixed capacitors, aluminium electrolytic), 8532.23 (other fixed capacitors, ceramic dielectric, single layer) or 4 others.

## What this code covers

HS code 8532.25 covers other fixed capacitors, dielectric of paper or plastics.

The legal text of the subheading is “Other fixed capacitors: Dielectric of paper or plastics”, read under “Other fixed capacitors”, in HS2022.

## What it doesn’t cover

Other goods of heading 85.32 are classified under 8532.10 (fixed capacitors designed for use in 50/60 Hz circuits and having a reactive power handling capacity of not less than 0,5 kvar (power capacitors)), 8532.21 (other fixed capacitors, tantalum), 8532.22 (other fixed capacitors, aluminium electrolytic), 8532.23 (other fixed capacitors, ceramic dielectric, single layer) or 4 others.

## How it is structured

8532.25 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 85, are the chapter; the first four, 8532, are heading 85.32; the last two, 25, identify the subheading within the heading.

Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.

- Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles
- Heading 85.32: Electrical capacitors, fixed, variable or adjustable (pre-set)
- Within the heading: Other fixed capacitors
- Subheading 8532.25: Dielectric of paper or plastics

## In other countries

No national tariff lines under 8532.25 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 8532.25 at six digits and add their own digits after it.

- Previous subheading: [8532.24](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/853224) Other fixed capacitors: Ceramic dielectric, multilayer
- Next subheading: [8532.29](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/853229) Other fixed capacitors: Other
