Push Button Rated at not over 5 A Momentary Contact

These are wired doorbell push buttons. This is a typical doorbell push button that is placed next to a door
on the outside of a home or business. It is directly wired into the home / business circuit via a
transformer for power. The push button is made up of a plastic or die cast (metal) housing with a simple
circuit inside. When the push button is pushed, it closes the circuit to complete power flow to ring the
chime inside. The push button may also contain a low voltage circuit linked to an incandescent bulb or
'LED diode to enable the push button to light up. These are momentary contact switches that have been
in the market for over 40 years with no existing IP. A picture of this product is attached.

(HeathCo LLC has been importing product from factories in China for over 30 years. HeathCo LLC
does not manufacture its own product. Wired push buttons are not manufactured in the U.S., so
domestic purchasing is not an option. Although wired push buttons could be manufactured in
countries outside of China, HeathCo is a small business with sourcing and supply chain infrastructure
centered in Hong Kong and China. Moving import operations to another country would be a major
undertaking and drastically change our business model.

‘Volumes noted in section 10 are estimates to keep this a public document. Precise figures are
confidential.

The imposition of these duties is harmful to the HeathCo business. These duties result in a direct,
significant reduction of profit, Customers will not take on price increases for this category, as it is
typically a non-branded, low-cost, low-priced category. If the added tariffs stay in effect for an
extended period of time, the impact to HeathCo's business will result in headcount reduction and job
loss in the U.S.

This product is not strategically important to the US, nor is it part of the Made in China 2025
initiative and is generally considered low-tech.

|HeathCo LLC requests exclusion of wired push buttons from the Section 301 added tariffs, as this
causes significant negative impact to our U.S. business and employment potential with no significant
strategic impact in U.S. / China relations.
