The first two digits of the HS code "85" represent Electrical Machinery and Parts.
Specifically, this major category includes the following:
- Electrical machinery and equipment: Includes generators, transformers, motors, electromagnets, lamps, lighting equipment, electric heating equipment, electric measuring instruments, electric protection devices, cables, switches, sockets, etc.
- Broadcasting, television, and communication equipment: Includes radio receivers, televisions, cameras, telephones, telegraph machines, radars, and communication equipment.
- Electronic equipment: Includes vacuum tubes, semiconductor devices, integrated circuits, electronic components, electronic computers, automatic data processing equipment, etc.
- Related parts: Includes parts and accessories of the above-mentioned equipment.
Reason for classification:
This major 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 involving 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 explanation: 8505: Electromagnets; permanent magnets and articles made thereof which become permanent magnets after magnetization; electromagnetically or permanently magnetized clamps, jigs, and similar fixing devices; electromagnetic couplings, clutches, and brakes; electromagnetic lifting heads; their parts.
Six-digit explanation: HS code: 8505.90
Classification: Electromagnets; permanent magnets and articles made thereof which become permanent magnets after magnetization; electromagnetically or permanently magnetized clamps, jigs, and similar fixing devices; electromagnetic couplings, clutches, and brakes; electromagnetic lifting heads; their parts

Customer Reviews
I couldn't have done it without this page. The HS Code and tariff info was exactly what I needed for exporting my plastic doors to the US.
The page had all the necessary details about HS Code 3925 and the 5% tariff. It would have been nice to see a comparison with other similar products.
I was impressed by the clarity of the tariff rates and how they apply to plastic doors. Perfect for my export business.
The trade details were helpful, but I would have liked more examples of similar products under the same HS Code.
This page saved me hours of research. The info on HS Code 3925 and export regulations for plastic doors was spot-on.
