Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this major category includes the following:

• Electrical Machinery and Equipment: Includes generators, transformers, motors, electromagnets, lamps, lighting equipment, electric heating equipment, electric power measuring instruments, electric power protection devices, cables, switches, sockets, etc.
• Broadcasting, Television, and Communication Equipment: Includes radio receivers, televisions, cameras, telephones, telegraph machines, radar, communication equipment, etc.
• Electronic Equipment: Includes electron tubes, semiconductor devices, integrated circuits, electronic components, electronic computers, automatic data processing equipment, etc.
• Related Parts: Includes parts and accessories of the above equipment.

Reason for Classification:

This major category is classified based on the function and use of the product. Products under Chapter 85 are related to the generation, transmission, conversion, control, and application of electric power, or the processing and communication of information using electric power.

In short, any product that involves electricity, electronics, or communication functions is typically classified under Chapter 85.

To more accurately determine the specific HS code for a product, it is necessary to look further at the subsequent digits.

Explanation of the first four digits: HS code 8543 represents the classification and meaning:

Electrical machines and equipment with a separate function, not specifically defined or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts.

Explanation of the first six digits: HS code: 8543.70

Classification: Electrical machinery and equipment with a separate function, not specifically defined or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts: --> Other machines and equipment: --> Other: --> Other --> Special effect pedals for musical instruments.

Meaning: This HS code covers electrical machinery and equipment with specific independent functions that are not clearly defined in other classifications of this chapter. Specifically, it includes the "Other machines and equipment" category under "Other," further divided into "Other," and finally covers "Special effect pedals for musical instruments."

Explanation of digits 8-10: No corresponding HS code; the user's input HS code is incorrect.

Examples of products: * Special effect pedals for musical instruments (e.g., wah-wah pedals, distortion pedals) * Electronic parts for musical instruments * Accessories for electric guitars or keyboards * Digital effects processors for music production
