Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "84" represent machinery, electrical equipment and parts thereof.

Specifically, this chapter includes the following main categories:

• Machinery: Including various industrial machinery, agricultural machinery, textile machinery, food processing machinery, printing machinery, etc.
• Electrical equipment: Including generators, transformers, motors, wires and cables, lighting equipment, household appliances, etc.
• Parts: Covering parts of the above machinery and electrical equipment.

Reason for classification:

The establishment of the "84" chapter is to unify the classification and management of all types of machinery and electrical equipment and their related parts. These devices play a crucial role in modern industrial production and daily life, so a dedicated chapter is needed for regulation.

In short, if the product is used for mechanical operations, energy generation, conversion, or utilization, or is a part of mechanical or electrical equipment, it is likely to fall under the HS code "84" chapter.

To more accurately determine the HS code of the product, it is also necessary to further examine the product's specific function, material, and use.

The first four digits of the HS code: 8419

Classification description: Machines, equipment, or laboratory equipment for material processing, whether or not electrically heated (excluding furnaces, ovens, and other equipment of chapter 8514), which process materials by changing temperature, for example heating, cooking, baking, distilling, rectifying, sterilizing, pasteurizing, boiling, drying, evaporating, vaporizing, or cooling; non-electric instant water heaters or storage water heaters; their parts.

Six-digit classification:

• Machines, equipment, or laboratory equipment, whether or not electrically heated (excluding furnaces, ovens, and other equipment of chapter 8514), for processing materials by changing temperature, for example heating, cooking, baking, distilling, rectifying, sterilizing, pasteurizing, boiling, drying, evaporating, vaporizing, or cooling, excluding equipment for domestic use; non-electric instant water heaters or storage water heaters; their parts

Specific meaning:

• Drying equipment:
  • Freeze-drying equipment, freeze-drying units, and spray dryers:
    • Other

8-10 digit explanation: hscode: 8419335000 Classification: Machines, equipment, or laboratory equipment for processing materials by changing temperature (e.g., heating, cooking, baking, distilling, rectifying, sterilizing, pasteurizing, boiling, drying, evaporating, vaporizing, condensing, or cooling), whether or not electrically heated (excluding furnaces, ovens, and other equipment of chapter 8514); non-electric instant water heaters or storage water heaters; their parts; --> Dryers; --> Freeze-drying equipment, freeze-drying units, and spray dryers; --> Other

Explanation: This HS code belongs to the category of machines, equipment, or laboratory equipment used for processing materials by changing temperature, specifically dryers, including freeze-drying equipment, spray drying units, and other types. It excludes equipment for domestic use and equipment such as furnaces and ovens under chapter 8514. It also includes non-electric instant water heaters or storage water heaters and their parts.

Product examples: * Freeze-drying machine * Spray dryer * Industrial drying equipment * Non-electric water heater * Laboratory drying equipment
