HTS 8537.10 – PLCs, Control Panels & Switchboards (≤1kV)

HTS 8537.10 covers PLCs, switchboards, and control panels operating at ≤1,000V — one of the most critical categories for industrial automation imports. The MFN rate is free. German and Japanese PLCs (Siemens, Mitsubishi, OMRON, Siemens) face only 15%. Chinese-made PLCs (HIKVISION, Fatek, Unitronics) face 40%. US industrial buyers are shifting to Japanese and European suppliers to avoid the China surcharge. Mexico-assembled Allen-Bradley CompactLogix units benefit from USMCA exemption.
