Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "85" represent Electrical Machinery and Equipment; Sound Recorders, Television and Radio Apparatus, and Their Parts; Optical Instruments, Precision Instruments, and Medical Instruments and Their 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 transmitters and receivers, etc.
• Optical instruments, precision instruments: Including telescopes, microscopes, cameras, measuring instruments, radar, 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 aforementioned types of equipment or its parts.

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

Classification: Electric motors and generators (excluding power units)

Specific meaning: Other direct current motors; direct current generators, excluding photovoltaic generators: --> Output power not exceeding 750 W: --> Generator

8-10 digit explanation:
hscode: 8501314000
Classification: Electric motors and generators (excluding power units): Other direct current motors; direct current generators, excluding photovoltaic generators: Output power not exceeding 750 W: Motor: Output power exceeding 74.6 W but not exceeding 735 W
Explanation: This HS code belongs to the category of electric motors and generators, specifically referring to direct current motors with an output power not exceeding 750 W and a power greater than 74.6 W but less than 735 W.

Examples of products under this HS code: * DC motor for small appliances (e.g., blenders, vacuum cleaners) * Electric motor for power tools (e.g., drills, saws) * Motor used in industrial automation equipment * Electric motor for small electric vehicles (e.g., electric scooters) * DC motor for home automation systems
