Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits are 85, which refers to the following classification:

Chapter 85: Electrical Machinery and Equipment

The HS code "85" primarily covers the following types of products:

• Electrical equipment: Includes generators, transformers, motors, distribution boards, switches, cables, insulators, etc.
• Electronic equipment: Includes vacuum tubes, semiconductor devices, integrated circuits, radio receivers, televisions, tape recorders, video recorders, computers, automatic data processing equipment, etc.
• Household appliances: Includes vacuum cleaners, electric irons, hair dryers, ovens, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc.
• Lighting equipment: Includes lamps, light bulbs, etc.
• Electromagnetic induction or ionizing radiation equipment: Includes industrial heating equipment, medical diagnostic equipment, etc.

Reason for classification:

The classification under "85" is based on the function and use of the product, which are all closely related to the generation, transmission, distribution, control, and use of electric power. They usually involve the application of electrical, electronic, or magnetic principles.

More specifically, if a product:

• Is mainly used to generate, convert, transmit, or use electric power;
• Contains electrical or electronic components and has specific electrical or electronic functions;
• Is used to control or regulate electrical or electronic equipment;
• Is an electrical device for home or commercial use;

Then, it is likely to be classified under the "85" chapter.

The first four digits are 8502: Power generation units and rotary converters.

The six-digit code is:

HS Code: 8502.13

Classification: Power generation units and rotary converters

Specific meaning: Power generation units with compression ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines): generation units with an output exceeding 375 kVA → generation units with an output exceeding 1,000 kVA.

The 8-10 digit code is:

HS Code: 8502.13.00.20

Classification: Electrical generation units and rotary converters → Compression ignition internal combustion piston engine generation units (diesel or semi-diesel engines)

Explanation: Compression ignition internal combustion piston engine generation units (diesel or semi-diesel engines) with an output power exceeding 375 kVA but not exceeding 1,000 kVA.

Examples of products:

• Diesel generator sets with output between 375 kVA and 1,000 kVA
• Semi-diesel engine power generation units
• Industrial backup power systems with diesel engines
• Mobile power generation units for construction sites
• Emergency power generation equipment with internal combustion engines
