Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "84" represent machinery, mechanical appliances, electrical machinery and parts; recorders and parts thereof.

Specifically, this major category includes the following main contents:

• Machinery: Includes various industrial machinery, agricultural machinery, construction machinery, textile machinery, printing machinery, office machinery, etc.
• Electrical equipment: Includes generators, electric motors, transformers, wires, cables, switches, sockets, lighting equipment, home appliances, etc.
• Electronic equipment: Includes computers, communication equipment, radar, televisions, radios, recorders, etc.
• Parts: Parts of the aforementioned equipment, as well as related accessories.

Reason for classification:

This category is classified based on the function and purpose of the product. It covers a wide range of equipment involved in the production, processing, transmission, use, control of electric power, and information processing and communication. In short, any equipment involving mechanical movement, electricity, electronics, and information processing may fall into Chapter 84.

To more accurately determine the specific HS code for a product, further information about the product's specific function, material, and use is required.

The first four digits of the HS code:

HS code: 8419

Classification description: Machines, appliances, or laboratory equipment for material processing, whether or not electrically heated (excluding furnaces, ovens, and other equipment under heading 8514), which process materials by changing temperature (such as heating, cooking, baking, distillation, rectification, sterilization, pasteurization, steaming, drying, evaporation, vaporization, condensation, or cooling), excluding machines or appliances for domestic use; non-electrically heated instant water heaters or storage water heaters; their parts.

Meaning: This HS code covers various machines, appliances, and laboratory equipment used to process materials by changing temperature, such as heating, cooking, baking, distillation, etc. It excludes equipment for domestic use and furnaces, ovens, etc., under heading 8514. It also includes non-electrically heated instant water heaters or storage water heaters and their parts.

The six-digit explanation:

8419.12 is classified as:

Machines, appliances, or laboratory equipment (whether or not electrically heated) for processing materials through temperature changes, such as heating, cooking, baking, distillation, rectification, sterilization, pasteurization, steaming, drying, evaporation, vaporization, condensation, or cooling, excluding furnaces, ovens, and other equipment under heading 8514; non-electric instant or storage water heaters; their parts:

Specifically, this HS code refers to: non-electric instant or storage water heaters:

Solar water heaters

8-10 digit explanation:

HS code: 8419.12.00.00

Classification: Machines, appliances, or laboratory equipment for material processing (whether or not electrically heated) (excluding furnaces, ovens, and other equipment under heading 8514), which process materials through temperature changes, such as heating, cooking, baking, distillation, rectification, sterilization, pasteurization, steaming, drying, evaporation, vaporization, condensation, or cooling; non-electrically heated instant or storage water heaters; their parts: --> non-electrically heated instant or storage water heaters: --> solar water heaters

Explanation: This HS code covers machines, appliances, or laboratory equipment used for material processing, which process materials through temperature changes, excluding furnaces, ovens, and other specific equipment. Specifically, it refers to non-electrically heated instant or storage water heaters, further classified as solar water heaters.

Examples of products: - Solar water heater - Non-electric water heater - Solar thermal system - Solar water heating unit - Solar domestic hot water system
