Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "82" represent plastics and articles of plastics.

Specifically, this classification is based on the material of the product. Any product primarily made of plastic, regardless of its shape, use, or degree of processing, will be classified under Chapter 82 of the HS code.

The following are some common examples of products that fall under the HS code 82 chapter:

• Plastic raw materials: Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), etc.
• Plastic sheets, plates, films, and tapes: Used for packaging, construction, agriculture, etc.
• Plastic pipes and fittings: Used for water supply, drainage, gas, etc.
• Plastic packaging products: Plastic bags, plastic bottles, plastic boxes, etc.
• Plastic furniture: Plastic chairs, plastic tables, etc.
• Plastic toys: Various toys made of plastic.
• Plastic medical devices: Syringes, infusion tubes, etc.

In short, as long as the main component of the product is plastic, it should be considered for classification under the HS code 82 chapter.

The first four digits of the HS code 8205 represent the following classification:

Hand tools (including glass cutters), not otherwise specified or included; blow lamps and similar self-contained torches; vices, clamps, etc., not being parts of machine tools or water-jet cutting machines; anvils; portable forging furnaces; hand or foot-operated grinding wheels with frames; parts of base metals.

It covers hand tools that are not otherwise clearly classified, especially combinations that include anvils, portable forging furnaces, and hand or foot-operated grinding wheels with frames, along with their parts made of base metals.
