Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this major category includes the following:

• Electrical Machinery: Including generators, transformers, electric motors, electromagnets, electric lamps, lighting equipment, electric heating equipment, electric power measuring instruments, electric power protection devices, cables, switches, sockets, etc.
• Broadcasting, Television, and Communication Equipment: Including radio receivers, televisions, cameras, telephones, telegraph machines, radars, communication equipment, etc.
• Electronic Equipment: Including electron tubes, semiconductor devices, integrated circuits, electronic components, electronic computers, automatic data processing equipment, etc.
• Related Parts: Including parts and accessories of the above equipment.

Reason for Classification:

This category is classified based on the function and use of the product. Products under Chapter 85 are related to the generation, transmission, conversion, control, and application of electric power, or the processing and communication of information using electric power.

In simple terms, any product that involves electricity, electronics, or communication functions is typically classified under Chapter 85.

To more accurately determine the specific HS code for a product, it is necessary to look at the following digits.

The first four digits of the HS code:

HS code 8504 represents the classification and meaning:

• Classification: Electrical transformers, static converters (e.g., rectifiers) and inductors; their parts
• Description: Includes electrical transformers, static converters (e.g., rectifiers) and inductors and their parts.

The six-digit explanation:

HS code: 8504.50

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

Specific meaning: Other inductors --> Other

The 8-10 digit explanation:

HS code: 8504508000

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

Explanation: This HS code belongs to the classification of electrical transformers, static converters (e.g., rectifiers) and inductors and their parts. More specifically, it is a subcategory of other inductors, falling under the category of other inductors.

Examples of products that may fall under this HS code:

• Inductors used in power supplies
• Inductors used in audio equipment
• Inductors used in radio frequency circuits
• Custom inductors for specific industrial applications
• Ferrite core inductors for noise suppression
• Inductors used in filters and signal processing circuits
