Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "85" represent Electrical Machinery and Equipment.

Specifically, this chapter includes the following main categories:

  • Vacuum tubes and semiconductor devices
  • Electronic integrated circuits and microcomponents
  • Radio, television, radar, and related equipment
  • Tape recorders, video recorders, and related equipment
  • Data processing equipment and related equipment (including computers, servers, printers, etc.)
  • Cables, insulated wires, and related equipment
  • Electrical apparatus (including switches, relays, electrical protection devices, etc.)
  • Magnetic or optical readers, data processing machines, and related equipment
  • Broadcast and television equipment
  • Inductors, capacitors, resistors, and other electronic components
  • Lighting equipment
  • Motors and generators
  • Other electrical equipment

In short, any product related to electronic technology, electricity, or information processing may be classified under Chapter 85 of the HS code.

If you can provide a more specific HS code (e.g., 8517), I can offer a more detailed classification explanation.

First four digits explanation: 8504 represents:

Electrical transformers, static converters (for example, rectifiers) and inductors; parts thereof

That is: Electrical transformers, static converters (e.g., rectifiers), and inductors; their parts

Six-digit explanation: HS code: 8504.40

Classification: Electrical transformers, static converters (e.g., rectifiers) and inductors; their parts --> Static converters --> Other --> Other

Meaning: This refers to electrical transformers, static converters (e.g., rectifiers), and inductors; their parts, specifically static converters, more specifically other types of static converters.

Eight to ten digits explanation: hscode: 8504406018
Classification: Electrical transformers, static converters (e.g., rectifiers) and inductors; parts thereof --> Static converters --> Power supplies for automatic data processing machines or units thereof of heading 8471; power supplies for goods of subheading 8443.31 or 8443.32; power supplies for monitors of subheading 8528.42 or 8528.52 or projectors of subheading 8528.62 --> Suitable for physical incorporation into automatic data processing machines or units thereof of heading 8471 --> Other
Explanation: This HS code belongs to the category of "Electrical transformers, static converters (e.g., rectifiers) and inductors; their parts" under the subcategory of "Static converters," specifically power supplies suitable for physical integration into automatic data processing machines or units thereof under heading 8471, and power supplies for goods under subheadings 8443.31 or 8443.32, or power supplies for monitors under subheadings 8528.42 or 8528.52 or projectors under subheadings 8528.62. It refers to other power supplies not covered by specific output ranges (not exceeding 50W, exceeding 50W but not exceeding 150W, or exceeding 150W but not exceeding 500W).

Examples of products: * Power supply units for computers * Power adapters for monitors * Power supplies for projectors * Power supplies for servers * Power supplies for data processing equipment

Customer Reviews

TradeGuru ★★★★★

This page is a goldmine for HS code 8504. The examples of products like power supplies for servers and projectors were exactly what I needed.

JohnSmith ★★★★

I found the section on HS code 8504 very informative. It would be nice to see more visuals or a table for quick reference, but overall it's a solid resource.

ExportPro99 ★★★★★

The detailed explanation of the 8504 HS code helped me classify my product correctly. I highly recommend this site for trade professionals.

DataDude ★★★★★

This site made it easy to understand what HS code 8504406018 covers. I'm exporting power adapters now and this was a lifesaver.

MariaLopez ★★★★

The information on HS code 8504 is clear, but I wish there were more examples of products under this code. Still, it was very useful.
