Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 8475 when importing machines designed for assembling electric or electronic lamps, tubes, valves, or flashbulbs. For example, if you’re bringing in a machine that assembles LED bulbs in glass envelopes, this code applies directly to your shipment.

When deciding between HS-6 847510 and HS-6 847590, consider the specific function of your machinery. If it’s solely for assembling lamps, use 847510. If it includes parts for those machines or is used for glassware manufacturing, 847590 is appropriate.

For machines that manufacture or hot work glass, you’ll choose between HS-6 847521 and HS-6 847529. Use 847521 if your machine is specifically for making optical fibers or preforms; otherwise, if it’s for general glass or glassware production, opt for 847529.
