Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "85" represent electronic equipment and its components.

Specifically, this chapter includes the following main categories:

• Vacuum tubes and semiconductor devices: Including vacuum tubes, diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, etc.
• Electronic components: Such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, connectors, etc.
• Electronic circuit boards: Including printed circuit boards, hybrid circuit boards, etc.
• Electronic equipment: Including radio receivers, television receivers, tape recorders, video recorders, computers, telephones, telegraph equipment, radar equipment, navigation equipment, industrial automation equipment, medical electronic equipment, etc.
• Electromagnetic compatibility equipment
• Lighting equipment
• Batteries and accumulators

Reason for classification:

The establishment of the "85" chapter is to unify the classification of all equipment and components related to electronic technology, facilitating international trade statistics and management. With the rapid development of electronic technology, electronic equipment is diverse in types and complex in function, thus requiring a dedicated chapter to cover these products.

In short, if your product is related to electronics or contains electronic components, it is likely to fall under the HS code "85" chapter.

The first four digits of the HS code: 8504

Classification description: Power transformers, static converters (e.g., rectifiers) and inductors; their parts

Meaning: This HS code covers power transformers, static converters (e.g., rectifiers) used to convert alternating current to direct current, and inductors, as well as their related parts.

The six-digit explanation: HS code: 8504.40

Classification: Electrical transformers, static converters (e.g., rectifiers) and inductors; parts: static converters: other: other

Meaning: Refers specifically to static converters in electrical converters, more precisely other types of static converters.

8-10 digit explanation: hscode: 8504404000 classification: Electrical transformers, static converters (e.g., rectifiers) and their parts: --> static converters: --> electric motor speed drive controller explanation: This HSCODE belongs to the category of electrical transformers, static converters (e.g., rectifiers) and their parts, more specifically classified as an electric motor speed drive controller within the static converter category.
