Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "85" represent electronic devices and their components.

Specifically, this chapter covers the following main categories:

• Electronic 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 devices: 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 devices and components related to electronic technology, facilitating international trade statistics and management. With the rapid development of electronic technology, electronic devices are diverse in types and complex in functions, so a dedicated chapter is needed to cover these products.

In summary, 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 8513 represent:

Portable electric lamps, designed to be powered by their own energy source (e.g., dry batteries, accumulators, magneto), but excluding lighting equipment under tax number 8512; their parts.

The six-digit explanation: HS code: 8513.90

Classification: Portable electric lamps, designed to be powered by their own energy source (e.g., dry batteries, accumulators, magneto), excluding lighting equipment under tax number 8512; their parts: --> Parts: --> Other

Meaning: This code covers portable electric lamps that operate using their own independent power source (e.g., batteries), but explicitly excludes fixed lighting equipment. It also includes parts of these lamps, especially parts categorized as "Other."

8-10 digit explanation: HS code: 8513904000 Classification: Portable electric lamps, designed to be powered by their own energy source (e.g., dry batteries, accumulators, magneto), not under the 8512 tax number for lighting equipment; their parts; other Explanation: This tax number covers portable electric lamps, which are designed to operate using their own independent energy source (e.g., dry batteries, accumulators, or magneto), but explicitly excludes lighting equipment under tax number 8512. Additionally, it includes parts of these lamps, particularly "Other" parts.

Examples of products that may fall under this HS code:

• Portable LED flashlights
• Emergency flashlights with built-in batteries
• Headlamps for outdoor activities
• Flashlights with magnetic motor power
• Parts of portable electric lamps such as switches, bulbs, and connectors
