HS-4 · Heading
8548 — Electrical parts of machinery or apparatus; not specified or elsewhere included in this chapter
Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 8548 when importing or exporting electrical parts of machinery or apparatus that aren't classified elsewhere. For example, if you're shipping a batch of circuit boards intended for use in various industrial machines, this code applies.
When determining whether to use HS-6 854800, consider the specific function of the electrical parts. If the parts are integral to a specific machine type, they may have a more specific classification elsewhere. However, if they serve a general purpose across different machinery, 854800 is appropriate.
If you're unsure whether your product fits under HS-4 8548 or another classification, check the detailed descriptions. For instance, parts specifically designed for sound recording equipment might fall under a different heading, while generic electrical components would use 854800.
