Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this chapter includes the following main categories:

• Vacuum tubes and semiconductor devices: Including diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, etc.
• Electrical components: Such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, etc.
• Electronic integrated circuits: Including microprocessors, memory, etc.
• Broadcasting and television receiving apparatus and related equipment: Including televisions, radios, cameras, etc.
• Recording apparatus and related equipment: Including tape recorders, CD players, etc.
• Data processing equipment: Including computers, printers, scanners, etc.
• Automatic data processing equipment and parts thereof: Including servers, routers, etc.
• Cables and related equipment: Including optical fiber cables, coaxial cables, etc.
• Other electronic equipment: Including radar, navigation equipment, medical electronic equipment, etc.

In summary, any product related to electronic technology, or parts used in the manufacture of electronic equipment, 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 8523 refer to:

Optical discs, magnetic tapes, solid non-volatile storage devices, "smart cards," and other media for recording sounds or other phenomena, whether or not recorded, including master discs and master tapes for the production of optical discs, but excluding products of Chapter 37.

6-digit explanation: HS code: 8523.80

Classification: Discs, magnetic tapes, solid non-volatile storage devices, "smart cards," and other media for recording sounds or other phenomena, whether or not recorded, including master discs and master tapes for the production of discs, but excluding products of Chapter 37.

Specific meaning: Refers to various storage media used for recording sounds or other phenomena, such as discs, magnetic tapes, solid-state storage devices, smart cards, etc., as well as master discs and master tapes used for producing these media.

8-10 digit explanation: HS code: 8523801000 Classification: Discs, magnetic tapes, solid non-volatile storage devices, "smart cards," and other media for recording sounds or other phenomena, whether or not recorded, including master discs and master tapes for the production of discs, but excluding products of Chapter 37: --> Other: --> Gramophone records Explanation: This HS code belongs to media for recording sounds or other phenomena, specifically "gramophone records," and does not include products of Chapter 37.

Examples of products under this HS code: - Gramophone records (vinyl records) - Magnetic tapes used for sound recording - Solid-state memory cards (e.g., SD cards, USB flash drives) - Smart cards (e.g., chip-enabled credit cards, access control cards) - Master discs for producing optical discs (e.g., CD/DVD master discs)
