The first two digits "84" represent nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, mechanical appliances, and parts thereof.
Specifically, this chapter covers 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, electric motors, wires and cables, switchgear, lighting equipment, electron tubes, semiconductor devices, telecommunications equipment, radio and television equipment, etc.
Reason for classification:
The classification of this chapter is 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 belong to Chapter 84 of the HS code.

Customer Reviews
This site is a lifesaver for anyone dealing with HS codes. The breakdown of 8421 was exactly what I needed for my product.
The section on Chapter 84 was very clear. I especially appreciated the examples of products under this classification.
I needed to classify an industrial centrifuge for export, and this site provided the exact HS code and detailed explanation.
The site is informative, but I had to search a bit to find the exact HS code I needed. Maybe a search bar would help.
I was looking for info on water purification equipment, and the HS code 8421120000 fits perfectly. Great resource for exporters.
