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 includes 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 machinery and parts thereof: Including generators, transformers, motors, wires and cables, switchgear, lighting equipment, electron tubes, semiconductor devices, telecommunication equipment, broadcasting 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 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 produce, 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.
