Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "85" represent Electrical machinery and parts; sound recorders, television, radio communication equipment and parts; optical instruments, precision instruments, medical instruments and parts.

Specifically, this broad category includes the following main products:

• Electrical equipment: Including various motors, generators, transformers, cables, switches, sockets, etc.
• Electronic equipment: Including integrated circuits, diodes, transistors, printed circuit boards, etc.
• Sound recorders, television, radio communication equipment: Including televisions, tape recorders, video cameras, telephones, mobile phones, radio transceivers, etc.
• Optical instruments, precision instruments: Including telescopes, microscopes, cameras, measuring instruments, radars, navigation instruments, etc.
• Medical instruments: Including X-ray machines, ultrasound diagnostic equipment, surgical instruments, dental equipment, etc.

Therefore, if a product's HS code starts with "85", it likely belongs to one of the above-mentioned types of equipment or their parts.

To determine the classification more precisely, it is necessary to look at the subsequent digits of the HS code, as "85" is a very broad category.
