Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this chapter covers a wide range of goods, including:

• Industrial machinery: For example, textile machinery, printing machinery, agricultural machinery, construction machinery, etc.
• General machinery: For example, engines, pumps, compressors, cranes, conveyors, etc.
• Electrical equipment: For example, generators, transformers, motors, wires and cables, lighting equipment, etc.
• Household appliances: For example, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, televisions, etc.
• Office equipment: For example, computers, printers, copiers, etc.

Reason for classification:

The establishment of the "84" chapter is to unify and classify all types of machinery, electrical equipment, and their parts, facilitating international trade statistics and customs duties. Goods in this chapter usually have the following characteristics:

• Functionality: Mainly used in production, processing, transportation, energy supply, information processing, etc.
• Technicality: Usually involves complex mechanical structures, electrical principles, and control systems.
• Universality: Covers almost all mechanical and electrical equipment used in industrial and civilian fields.

In short, if the product is machinery, electrical equipment, or its parts, its HS code is likely to start with "84".

The first four digits "8424": Machinery (whether or not manually operated) for projecting, distributing or spraying liquids or powders; fire extinguishers, whether or not charged; spray guns and similar apparatus; steam or sand jet machines and similar jet machines; their parts.

The six-digit explanation:

HS code: 8424.41

Classification: Machinery (whether or not manually operated) for projecting, distributing or spraying liquids or powders; fire extinguishers, whether or not charged; spray guns and similar apparatus; steam or sand jet machines and similar jet machines; their parts → agricultural or horticultural sprayers → portable sprayers → others

8-10 digits explanation:

HS code: 8424411000
Classification: Machinery (whether or not manually operated) for projecting, distributing or spraying liquids or powders; fire extinguishers, whether or not charged; spray guns and similar apparatus; steam or sand jet machines and similar jet machines; their parts → agricultural or horticultural sprayers → portable sprayers → sprayers (excluding self-contained sprayers with a capacity not exceeding 20 liters)

Explanation: This HS code belongs to machinery specifically used for agricultural or horticultural spraying operations, especially portable sprayers, but excludes self-contained sprayers with a capacity not exceeding 20 liters.

Examples of products: * Portable garden sprayer * Agricultural pesticide sprayer * Manual or electric lawn sprayer * Horticultural plant sprayer * Portable water sprayer for irrigation * Portable foam sprayer for cleaning purposes
