Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this 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, radar, 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-mentioned equipment.

Reason for Classification:

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

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 subsequent digits.

The first four digits "8511": Electrical ignition or starting equipment for spark-ignition or compression-ignition internal combustion engines (e.g., ignition magneto, magneto generator, ignition coil, spark plug and preheater plug, starter motor); generators (e.g., generator, alternator) and circuit breakers used with such engines; and parts thereof.

The six-digit code: HS code: 8511.90

Classification: Electrical ignition or starting equipment for spark-ignition or compression-ignition internal combustion engines (e.g., ignition magneto, magneto generator, ignition coil, spark plug and preheater plug, starter motor); generators (e.g., generator, alternator) and circuit breakers used with such engines; and parts thereof: --> Parts: --> Other parts --> Other

Meaning: This code covers electrical ignition or starting equipment for spark-ignition or compression-ignition internal combustion engines, as well as generators and circuit breakers used with such engines, and parts of these equipment, specifically the category of "Other parts."

The 8-10 digit code: HS code: 8511902000

Classification: Electrical ignition or starting equipment for spark-ignition or compression-ignition internal combustion engines (e.g., ignition magneto, magneto generator set, ignition coil, spark plug and preheater plug, starter motor); generators (e.g., generator, alternator) and circuit breakers used with such engines; and parts thereof --> Parts: --> Voltage and voltage-current regulators designed for 6, 12, or 24 V systems with circuit break relays

Explanation: This HS code belongs to the classification of electrical ignition or starting equipment and its parts, more specifically voltage and voltage-current regulators designed for 6, 12, or 24 V systems with circuit break relays. These parts are used in the ignition or starting systems of spark-ignition or compression-ignition internal combustion engines.

Examples of Products: - Voltage regulator for 12V systems with circuit breaker - 24V voltage-current regulator for diesel engine starting systems - 6V voltage regulator with relay for small engine ignition - Automotive ignition coil with voltage regulator - Marine engine voltage regulator for 12V systems
