Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "84" represent nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, mechanical appliances, and parts thereof.

Specifically, this chapter includes the following main categories:

• Nuclear reactors, boilers, steam generators, turbines, engines, pumps, compressors, machine tools, machine tools, agricultural machinery, construction machinery, industrial robots, etc.
• Electrical equipment and parts thereof: Including generators, transformers, motors, wires and cables, switchgear, lighting equipment, electron tubes, semiconductor devices, telecommunication equipment, radio and television equipment, etc.

Reason for classification:

The classification of this chapter is based on the function and use of the product, that is, whether the product belongs to nuclear energy utilization, energy conversion, power drive, material processing, or the generation, transmission, and reception of electrical signals. It covers various mechanical and electrical equipment that are essential to industrial production and modern society.

In short, if the product is used to generate, convert, transmit, or utilize energy, or to perform mechanical processing, material handling, or electrical signal processing, it is likely to belong to Chapter 84 of the HS code.

The first four digits explanation: 8408: Compression ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines).

Six-digit explanation: HS code: 8408.10

Classification: Compression ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines)

Meaning: Refers to ship propulsion engines with a power output of more than 746 kW.

Explanation of 8-10 digits: hscode: 8408100005 Classification: Compression ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines) --> Ship propulsion engines Explanation: Ship propulsion engines with a power output of no more than 111.9 kW.
