HS-6 · Subheading
842199
Machinery; parts for filtering or purifying liquids or gases
Heading 8421 — Centrifuges, including centrifugal dryers; filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for liquids or gases
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 842199 when importing or exporting parts for filtering or purifying machinery that aren't classified elsewhere. For instance, a shipment of replacement filters for industrial liquid purification systems falls under this code.
This code specifically covers machinery parts used in filtering or purifying liquids or gases, which can include components like membranes, separators, and other specialized parts. In contrast, HS-6 8421.10 covers complete centrifuges, while HS-6 8421.99 may include other filtering machinery.
When dealing with parts that serve specific filtering functions but do not fit neatly into other categories, 842199 is the appropriate choice. If you have parts that are integral to the operation of filtering machinery but are not specified elsewhere, this is the code to use.
Be mindful that items such as complete filtering systems or specific centrifuges would not fall under this code. Instead, they would require classification under their specific HS-6 lines.
