Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits "85" in the HS code represent "Electrical Machinery and Parts".

Specifically, this major category includes the following:

• Electrical Equipment: Including various motors, generators, transformers, wires and cables, switches, protective devices, etc.
• Electronic Equipment: Covering various electron tubes, semiconductor devices, integrated circuits, electronic components, etc.
• Communication Equipment: Including telephones, telegraph machines, radio broadcasting equipment, television equipment, etc.
• Power Equipment: Including power control equipment, power distribution equipment, power cables, etc.
• Other Electrical Machinery and Parts: Including various electrical measuring instruments, electrical control equipment, electrical lighting equipment, etc.

Reason for Classification:

The classification of HS codes is mainly based on the function and use of the item. Items in the "85" category all have the characteristic of using electric energy to work or controlling electric energy, so they are classified as electrical machinery and parts.

In short, any equipment or parts related to electricity, electronics, or power are usually included in the "85" category.

To determine a more precise classification, more detailed HS codes (e.g., 8501, 8517) or more detailed product descriptions are needed.

First four digits explanation: HS code: 8537

Classification Description:

Boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets, and other bases equipped with two or more devices from chapters 8535 or 8536, used for electrical control or power distribution, including those incorporating instruments or devices from chapter 90 and numerical control devices, excluding switching devices from chapter 8517.

Six-digit explanation: HS code: 8537.10

Classification: Boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets, and other bases equipped with two or more devices from chapters 8535 or 8536, used for electrical control or power distribution, including those incorporating instruments or devices from chapter 90 and numerical control devices, excluding switching devices from chapter 8517.

Specific Meaning:

• Voltage not exceeding 1,000 V
• Other:
  • Touch-sensitive data input devices (so-called "touchscreens") without display functions, used in combination with devices that have displays, working by detecting the location and presence of a touch within the display area (this sensing can be obtained through resistance, capacitive, acoustic pulse, infrared, or other touch-sensitive technologies).
