Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "85" represent "Electrical machinery and equipment; sound recorders and reproducers."

Specifically, this major category includes the following main contents:

• Electrical machinery and equipment: This includes various types of electrical equipment, such as power equipment, communication equipment, lighting equipment, motors, generators, transformers, cables, switches, sockets, relays, capacitors, resistors, inductors, sensors, radar, navigation instruments, electrical control equipment, automatic control systems, etc.
• Sound recorders and reproducers: This includes tape recorders, magnetic tapes, optical discs for recording, etc.
• Parts: This includes parts and accessories of the above electrical machinery and sound recorders and reproducers.

Why is it "85"?

This classification is based on the function and use of the product. Any product related to the generation, transmission, conversion, control, or use of electric energy, or used for recording and playing back sound, will be classified into the "85" category.

In short, any product involving "electricity" or "sound recording" is very likely to belong to the HS code "85" category.

To more accurately determine the HS code for a specific product, it is necessary to further examine the product's detailed description and function.
