Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this major category includes the following:

• Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery: This includes various types of nuclear reactors, steam generators, boilers, turbines, generators, pumps, compressors, cranes, conveyors, agricultural machinery, construction machinery, and industrial robots.
• Electrical equipment: This includes power equipment, electric motors, generators, transformers, wires and cables, switchgear, lighting equipment, telecommunications equipment, radar, broadcasting and television equipment, computers and peripheral equipment, etc.
• Parts: This covers parts of the aforementioned equipment, such as motor parts, pump parts, valves, bearings, and wire and cable connectors.

Why is "84" used to represent these products?

This coding system originated in the 1950s, with the aim of coordinating global tariffs and trade classification. The code "84" was assigned to these products because they play a central role in industrial production, energy supply, and technological applications, and are usually involved in complex manufacturing processes and technologies.

In summary, the HS code "84" represents equipment and parts related to industry, energy, and technology, and is a very important category of goods in global trade.

If you can provide a more specific HS code (e.g., 8401, 8411, etc.), I can provide a more detailed classification explanation.
