HS-6 · Subheading
841221
Engines; hydraulic power engines and motors, linear acting (cylinders)
Heading 8412 — Engines and motors; n.e.c. (e.g. reaction engines, hydraulic power engines, pneumatic power engines)
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 841221 when importing or exporting hydraulic power engines and motors that are linear acting, such as hydraulic cylinders. For instance, if you're shipping hydraulic cylinders used in construction machinery, this is the correct code.
This subheading narrows down to hydraulic power engines and motors, distinguishing them from other types of engines like pneumatic or reaction engines. If your product is a hydraulic motor that operates using pressurized fluid, it fits here.
In contrast, HS-6 841220 covers hydraulic power engines that are not linear acting, such as hydraulic pumps. Make sure to choose the right code based on the specific function and design of your equipment.
When classifying hydraulic cylinders, consider their application—whether they are used in industrial machinery, automotive systems, or agricultural equipment. Each application can influence your classification decisions.
