Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "85" represent "Electrical machinery and parts; sound recording and reproducing apparatus; television image and sound apparatus."

Specifically, this major category includes the following main contents:

  • Electrical machinery and parts: Includes various electrical equipment such as power equipment, motors, generators, transformers, switches, cables, lighting equipment, electric heating equipment, electromagnets, etc.
  • Sound recording and reproducing apparatus: Includes tape recorders, CD players, MP3 players, speakers, headphones, microphones, etc.
  • Television image and sound apparatus: Includes televisions, monitors, projectors, cameras, video recorders, etc.

Therefore, if a product belongs to any of the above types, its HS code's first two digits are usually "85."

To more accurately determine the HS code of a product, it is also necessary to consider the specific function, material, purpose, and other factors of the product, and further subdivide to the later digits.

The first four digits explanation: 8502: Power generating sets and rotary converters.

6-digit explanation: HS code: 8502.12

Classification: Power generating sets and rotary converters

Specific meaning: Power generating sets with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines), with an output power exceeding 75 kVA but not exceeding 375 kVA.

8-10 digits explanation: hscode: 8502120000 Classification: Power generating sets and rotary converters --> Compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine generating sets (diesel or semi-diesel engines): --> Output power exceeding 75 kVA but not exceeding 375 kVA Explanation: The classification corresponding to this HS code is power generating sets, specifically compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine generating sets (diesel or semi-diesel engines), with an output power range of more than 75 kVA to 375 kVA.

Examples of products:

  • Diesel generator set with an output of 100 kVA
  • Semi-diesel engine power generator with a capacity of 250 kVA
  • Industrial backup power unit with a diesel engine and a rated output of 300 kVA
  • Portable power generator with a diesel engine and output power of 200 kVA
  • Medium-sized power generator with a semi-diesel engine and output of 350 kVA
