Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this chapter covers the following main categories:

• Electron tubes and semiconductor devices
• Electronic integrated circuits and microcomponents
• Radio, television, radar, and related equipment
• Tape recorders, video recorders, and related equipment
• Data processing equipment and related equipment (including computers, servers, printers, etc.)
• Cables, insulated wires, and related equipment
• Electrical equipment (including switches, relays, electrical protection devices, etc.)
• Magnetic or optical readers, data processors, and related equipment
• Broadcasting and television equipment
• Inductors, capacitors, resistors, and other electronic components
• Lighting equipment
• Motors and generators
• Other electrical equipment

In short, any product related to electronic technology, electricity, or information processing may be classified under Chapter 85 of the HS code.

If you can provide a more specific HS code (e.g., 8517), I can offer a more detailed classification explanation.

First four digits explanation:
8536: Electrical equipment for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for connecting in electrical circuits (e.g., switches, relays, fuses, surge suppressors, plugs, sockets, lamp holders, and other connectors, terminal boxes).

Six-digit explanation:
HS code: 8536.90
Classification: Electrical equipment for switching or protecting circuits, or for connecting to circuits (e.g., switches, relays, fuses, surge suppressors, plugs, sockets, lamp holders, and other connectors, terminal boxes); connectors for optical fibers, fiber bundles, or cables.
Specific meaning: Other equipment → Other → Other.

Eight to ten digits explanation:
HS code: 8536906000
Classification: Electrical equipment 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, terminal boxes), with a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V; connectors for optical fibers, fiber bundles, or cables.
Explanation: This HS code covers electrical equipment used for switching or protecting circuits, or for connecting to or within circuits, with a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V. It specifically includes switches, relays, fuses, surge suppressors, plugs, sockets, lamp holders, terminal boxes, and connectors for optical fibers, fiber bundles, or cables. It also includes battery clamps used in motor vehicles under headings 8702, 8703, 8704, or 8711.

Examples of products under this HS code: - Wall switches - Circuit breakers - Socket outlets - Lamp holders - Terminal boxes - Surge protectors - Plug connectors - Fiber optic connectors - Automotive battery clamps
