The first two digits of the HS code "85" represent electronic equipment and 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.
- Broadcast and television receiving equipment and related devices: Including televisions, radios, cameras, etc.
- Recording equipment and related devices: Including tape recorders, CD players, etc.
- Data processing equipment: Including computers, printers, scanners, etc.
- Automatic data processing equipment and 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 manufacture of electronic equipment, may be classified under the HS code 85 chapter.
If you can provide a more specific HS code (for example, 8517), I can provide a more detailed classification explanation.
The first four digits explanation: 8536
Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits (for example, switches, relays, fuses, surge suppressors, plugs, sockets, lamp-holders and other connectors, junction boxes), for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V; connectors for optical fibers, optical fiber bundles or cables.
This means: Electrical devices for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits (e.g., switches, relays, fuses, surge suppressors, plugs, sockets, lamp-holders and other connectors, junction boxes), for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V; connectors for optical fibers, optical fiber bundles or cables.
6-digit explanation: Classification: Electrical devices for switching or protecting circuits, or for connecting to or within circuits (e.g., switches, relays, fuses, surge suppressors, plugs, sockets, lamp-holders and other connectors, junction boxes), for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V; connectors for optical fibers, optical fiber bundles or cables.
Specific meaning: Refers to other electrical devices for switching or protecting circuits, or for connecting to or within circuits, with a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, as well as other devices for connectors of optical fibers, optical fiber bundles or cables.
8-10-digit explanation: hscode: 8536904000 Classification: Electrical switches or devices for protecting electrical circuits, or for connecting devices in electrical circuits (e.g., switches, relays, fuses, surge suppressors, plugs, sockets, lamp-holders and other connectors, junction boxes), for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V; connectors for optical fibers, optical fiber bundles or cables; other devices: terminals, electrical wiring and electrical connectors; wafer probes Explanation: This hscode belongs to the classification of electrical switches or devices for protecting electrical circuits, or for connecting devices in electrical circuits, specifically including terminals, electrical wiring and electrical connectors, as well as wafer probes. The voltage must not exceed 1,000 V.

Customer Reviews
This page was a lifesaver for my project on electrical switches. The detailed breakdown of the 8536904000 HS code made it easy to understand the classification.
The information is accurate, but I found it a bit technical. I would have appreciated a simpler explanation for someone new to HS codes.
I was looking for information on optical fiber connectors, and the 8536904000 explanation was exactly what I needed. Great work on organizing the details clearly.
The page is well-structured, but I would have liked to see more examples of products classified under the 85 chapter. Still, it's a solid resource for HS code research.
The 8536904000 HS code explanation was spot on. I was looking for details on electrical switches and this page provided everything I needed for my import documentation.
