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 covers 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, telecommunications 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 electrical signal processing, it is likely to fall under Chapter 84 of the HS code.

The first four digits explanation: HS code: 8419

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

Six-digit explanation: HS code: 8419.90

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

Specific meaning:

• Covers machines, equipment, or laboratory equipment for material processing that operate by changing temperature.
• Excludes furnaces, ovens, and other equipment (classified under Chapter 8514).
• Includes non-electric instant water heaters or storage water heaters.
• Also includes parts of these machines, equipment, or laboratory equipment.
• Part details:
  • Other parts
  • Parts of a melt-salt-cooled acrylic reactor
  • Parts of medical, surgical, or laboratory sterilizers

8-10 digit explanation: hscode: 8419903000 Classification: Machines, equipment, or laboratory equipment for material processing involving temperature changes (whether or not electrically heated), such as heating, cooking, baking, distillation, rectification, sterilization, pasteurization, steam treatment, drying, evaporation, vaporization, or cooling, excluding equipment under Chapter 8514; non-electric instant or storage water heaters; their parts; --> parts; --> parts of heat exchangers. Explanation: This hscode is classified as parts of machines, equipment, or laboratory equipment for material processing involving temperature changes, especially parts of heat exchangers. It explicitly excludes household equipment and equipment under Chapter 8514, and covers non-electric instant or storage water heaters.

Product Examples: * Heat exchanger parts * Components of a sterilizer * Parts of a distillation machine * Components of a pasteurization unit * Parts of a non-electric water heater * Components of a drying machine * Parts of a steam generator
