Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this chapter includes the following main categories:

• Nuclear reactors, boilers, machines, mechanical appliances, and parts thereof: Including various types of 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:

This chapter is classified 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 processing of electrical signals, it is likely to belong to Chapter 84 of the HS code.

The first four digits "8414" represent:

Air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors and fans; ventilating or recycling hoods incorporating a fan, whether or not fitted with filters; gas-tight biological safety cabinets, whether or not fitted with filters; parts thereof.

The six-digit code:

HS code: 8414.80

Classification: Air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors and fans; ventilating or recycling hoods incorporating a fan, whether or not fitted with filters; gas-tight biological safety cabinets, whether or not fitted with filters; parts thereof

Specific meaning: Refers to other types of air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors and fans; ventilating or recycling hoods incorporating a fan, whether or not fitted with filters; gas-tight biological safety cabinets, whether or not fitted with filters; parts thereof, excluding parts specifically classified elsewhere.

8-10 digits explanation:

HS code: 8414801625
Classification: Air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors and fans; ventilating or recycling hoods incorporating a fan, whether or not fitted with filters; gas-tight biological safety cabinets, whether or not fitted with filters; parts thereof: --> Other, except parts: --> Air compressors: --> Other --> Stationary: --> Reciprocating: --> Exceeding 4.48 kW but not exceeding 8.21 kW
Explanation: This HS code belongs to air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors and fans; ventilating or recycling hoods incorporating a fan, whether or not fitted with filters; gas-tight biological safety cabinets, whether or not fitted with filters; parts thereof: --> Other, not including parts: --> Air compressors: --> Other --> Stationary: --> Reciprocating: --> Exceeding 4.48 kW but not exceeding 8.21 kW. The key distinction is the power range: reciprocating stationary air compressors exceeding 4.48 kW but not exceeding 8.21 kW.

Examples of products:

• Stationary reciprocating air compressors with a power rating of 5 kW
• Stationary reciprocating air compressors with a power rating of 7.5 kW
• Stationary reciprocating air compressors with a power rating of 8 kW
• Stationary reciprocating air compressors with a power rating of 8.1 kW
• Stationary reciprocating air compressors with a power rating of 8.2 kW
