Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "84" represent nuclear reactors, boilers, machines, 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:

This chapter is classified based on the function and purpose 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 for 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 fall under Chapter 84 of the HS code.

First four digits explanation: HS code: 8419

Description: Machines, apparatus or laboratory equipment for material treatment, whether or not electrically heated (excluding furnaces, ovens and other equipment of chapter 8514), for processing materials through a process involving a change in temperature, such as heating, cooking, baking, distillation, rectification, sterilization, pasteurization, steam treatment, drying, evaporation, vaporization or cooling; non-electric instant water heaters or storage water heaters; their parts.

Six-digit explanation: HS code: 8419.50

Classification: Machines, apparatus or laboratory equipment for material treatment, whether or not electrically heated (excluding furnaces, ovens and other equipment of chapter 8514); machines or apparatus for processing materials through a process involving a change in temperature (such as heating, cooking, baking, distillation, rectification, sterilization, pasteurization, steaming, drying, evaporation, vaporization, condensation or cooling), not including machines or apparatus for domestic use; non-electric instant or storage water heaters; their parts: --> heat exchanger units: --> other

Meaning: This HS code covers machines, apparatus or laboratory equipment for material treatment, which process materials through a change in temperature. It does not include equipment for domestic use, nor does it include furnaces, ovens, etc. It also includes heat exchanger units and their parts.

8-10 digits explanation: hscode: 8419501000 Classification: Machines, plants or laboratory equipment, whether or not electrically heated (excluding furnaces, ovens and other equipment of chapter 8514), for processing materials through a process involving a change in temperature, such as heating, cooking, baking, distillation, rectification, sterilization, pasteurization, distillation, drying, evaporation, vaporization or cooling, not for domestic use; non-electric instant water heaters or storage water heaters; their parts: --> heat exchanger units: --> brazed aluminum plate fin heat exchangers Explanation: This HS code covers machines, plants or laboratory equipment for material treatment involving a change in temperature, but does not include household equipment and equipment of chapter 8514 such as furnaces and ovens. Specifically, it is detailed to heat exchanger units, especially brazed aluminum plate fin heat exchangers.

Examples of products: * Brazed aluminum plate fin heat exchangers * Industrial heat exchangers * Laboratory equipment for temperature-controlled processes * Non-electric water heaters * Industrial drying machines * Steam sterilizers * Evaporation units * Cooling towers * Distillation equipment * Pasteurization machines
