The first two digits of the HS code "85" represent electronic devices and their parts.
Specifically, this chapter includes the following main categories:
- Vacuum tubes and semiconductor devices: Including diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, etc.
- Electronic components: Such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, etc.
- Electronic integrated circuits: Including microprocessors, memory, etc.
- Radio and television receivers and related equipment: Including televisions, radios, cameras, etc.
- Recorders and related equipment: Including tape recorders, CD players, etc.
- Data processing equipment: Including computers, printers, scanners, etc.
- Automatic data processing equipment and its parts: Including servers, routers, etc.
- Cables and related equipment: Including fiber optic cables, coaxial cables, etc.
- Other electronic equipment: Including radar, navigation equipment, medical electronic equipment, etc.
In short, any product related to electronic technology, or parts used in the manufacturing of electronic devices, may be classified under the HS code chapter 85.
If you can provide a more specific HS code (e.g., 8517), I can provide a more detailed classification explanation.
The first four digits of the HS code 8518 represent the following classification:
- Microphones and their stands
- Speakers, whether or not mounted in their enclosures
- Headphones and headsets, whether or not combined with microphones
- Sets consisting of microphones and one or more speakers
- Audio frequency electric amplifiers
- Electric sound amplifying sets
- Their parts
The six-digit explanation: HS code: 8518.21
Classification: Microphones and microphone stands; speakers, whether or not mounted in their enclosures; headphones and headsets, whether or not combined with microphones, and sets consisting of a microphone and one or more speakers; audio frequency electric amplifiers; electric sound amplifying sets; their parts.
Specific meaning: A single speaker, mounted in its enclosure.
The 8-10 digit explanation: hscode: 8518210000 Classification: Microphones and stands, speakers (whether or not mounted in their enclosures), headphones and headsets (whether or not combined with microphones), and sets consisting of a microphone and one or more speakers; audio frequency electric amplifiers; electric sound amplifying sets; their parts: --> Speakers (whether or not mounted in their enclosures): --> A single speaker, mounted in its enclosure Explanation: This HS code belongs to the subcategory of microphones and stands, speakers (whether or not mounted in their enclosures), headphones and headsets (whether or not combined with microphones), and sets consisting of a microphone and one or more speakers; audio frequency electric amplifiers; electric sound amplifying sets; their parts. More specifically, it refers to the subcategory of speakers (whether or not mounted in their enclosures), and finally classifies as a single speaker, mounted in its enclosure.
Examples of products: * Single enclosed speaker * Desktop speaker with built-in enclosure * Bluetooth speaker with internal casing * Home theater speaker unit * Computer speaker with integrated enclosure
