Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "85" represent electronic equipment and its parts.

Specifically, this chapter covers the following main categories:

• Electronic tubes and semiconductor devices: Including vacuum tubes, diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, etc.
• Electronic components: Such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, connectors, etc.
• Electronic circuit boards: Including printed circuit boards, hybrid circuit boards, etc.
• Electronic equipment: Including radio receivers, televisions, tape recorders, cameras, telephones, facsimile machines, computers, automatic data processing equipment, radar equipment, navigation equipment, industrial electronic equipment, etc.
• Cables and insulated wires: Including various types of cables, fiber optic cables, insulated wires, etc.

Reason for classification:

The establishment of the "85" chapter is to unify the management and classification of all products related to electronic technology, facilitating international trade statistics and customs supervision. With the rapid development of electronic technology, electronic equipment has become increasingly widely used in modern society, so the establishment of a dedicated chapter for classification is of great significance.

In short, if your product is related to electronics, it is likely to fall under the HS code "85" chapter.
