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, 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, 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 use of the product, i.e., whether the product is used for nuclear energy utilization, energy conversion, power drive, material processing, or the generation, transmission, and reception of electrical signals. It covers a variety of mechanical and electrical equipment that are essential in 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.

The first four digits of the HS code: 8438

Classification: Machines for the industrial preparation or production of food or beverages, excluding machines specified elsewhere in this chapter, and also excluding machines for the extraction or preparation of animal, fixed plant, or microbial fats or oils; parts thereof.

Meaning: This code covers various machines used for industrial-scale food and beverage processing, but does not include machines specifically used for extracting or preparing fats and oils from animals, fixed plants, or microorganisms. It also includes parts of these machines.

The six-digit explanation: HS code: 8438.30

Classification: Machines for the industrial preparation or manufacture of food or beverages, not specifically mentioned or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts; --> sugar-making machines.

Meaning: Refers to machines used for the industrial preparation or production of food or beverages, but not including machines for the extraction or preparation of fats or oils from animals, fixed plants, or microorganisms. Specifically, this code covers sugar-making machines and their parts.

8-10 digit explanation: HS code: 8438300000

Classification: Machines for the industrial preparation or production of food or beverages, not specifically mentioned or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts; --> sugar-making machinery.

Explanation: Refers to machines used for the industrial preparation or production of food or beverages, excluding machines for the extraction or preparation of fats or oils from animals, fixed plants, or microorganisms; sugar-making machinery and its parts.

Examples of products: * Sugar refining machines * Sugar crystallization equipment * Sugar packaging machines * Sugar conveyor systems * Parts of sugar production machines (e.g., gears, valves, pumps)
