Harmonized System Code Classification

84
Mechanical and electrical machinery and equipment and their parts

84
This chapter includes the following main categories:
Machinery: Includes various industrial machinery, agricultural machinery, textile machinery, food processing machinery, printing machinery, etc.
Electrical equipment: Includes generators, transformers, motors, wires and cables, lighting equipment, household appliances, etc.
Parts:* Covers parts of the above machinery and electrical equipment.

Reason for classification:
The establishment of the "84" chapter is to classify and manage all types of mechanical and electrical equipment and their related parts. These devices play a crucial role in modern industrial production and daily life, so a dedicated chapter is needed for regulation.

In short, if the product is used for mechanical operations, energy generation, conversion, or utilization, or is a component of mechanical or electrical equipment, it is likely to fall under the HS code "84" chapter.

To more accurately determine the HS code of the product, it is also necessary to further examine the specific function, material, and use of the product.
