The first two digits of the HS code "85" represent electronic devices and their parts.
Specifically, this chapter includes 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
- Broadcast 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 (such as 8517), I can provide a more detailed classification explanation.
The first four digits explanation: 8537: Boards, panels, consoles, tables, cabinets, and other bases with two or more devices under headings 8535 or 8536, used for electrical control or power distribution, including those incorporating instruments or devices under Chapter 90, as well as numerical control devices, excluding switching devices under heading 8517.
Six-digit explanation: HS code: 8537.10
Classification: Boards, panels, consoles, tables, cabinets, and other bases with two or more devices under headings 8535 or 8536, used for electrical control or power distribution, including those incorporating instruments or devices under Chapter 90, as well as numerical control devices, excluding switching devices under heading 8517.
Specific meaning:
- Devices with a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V.
- Other:
- Touch-sensitive data input devices (so-called "touchscreens") without display functions, used to be integrated into devices with displays, working by detecting the location and presence of a touch within the display area (this sensing can be achieved through resistive, capacitive, acoustic pulse, infrared, or other touch-sensitive technologies).
8-10 digit explanation: hscode: 8537103000 Classification: Boards, panels, consoles, tables, cabinets, and other bases equipped with two or more devices under headings 8535 or 8536, used for electrical control or power distribution, including those incorporating instruments or devices under Chapter 90 and numerical control devices, excluding switching devices under heading 8517. Explanation: Applicable to devices with a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, and assembled with a housing or bracket, used for goods under headings 8421, 8422, 8450, or 8516.
Examples of products: * Control panels for electrical distribution systems * Power control boards with integrated sensors * Touchscreen input modules for industrial control systems * Control cabinets with integrated instruments * Power distribution panels with numerical control functions
Customer Reviews
I was looking for details on HS code 8537 and found exactly what I needed. The examples of products like control panels and cabinets made it easy to understand the classification.
The breakdown of Chapter 85 was helpful, but I found the 8-10 digit explanation a bit technical. Still, it gave me the information I needed for my export paperwork.
I was confused about the voltage limits for HS code 8537.10, but this page explained it clearly. Definitely a must-visit for anyone dealing with electrical control devices.
This site helped me understand the difference between HS codes 8535 and 8537. The examples of control panels and cabinets were very useful for my work.
The explanation of HS code 8537 was good, but I would have liked more examples of products under this classification. Still, it was very informative.
