Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "85" represent electronic devices and other electrical equipment.

Specifically, this chapter covers the following main categories:

• Electronic tubes and semiconductor devices
• Vacuum tubes, electronic tubes, semiconductor diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, etc.
• Wires, cables
• Capacitors, resistors, inductors, etc.
• Electromagnets, inductors, transformers
• Power control equipment
• Television and radio receivers, tape recorders, cameras, etc.
• Data processing equipment, automatic data processing machines
• Medical, dental, veterinary instruments
• Lighting equipment
• Motors, generators
• Other electrical equipment

In summary, if the primary function of the product is to utilize or transmit electricity, electronic signals, or is used in electronic data processing, communication, broadcasting, medical fields, then it is likely to fall under Chapter 85 of the HS code.

To determine the classification more accurately, further information about the product's specific function, material, and usage is required.
