Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 842641 when importing or exporting self-propelled cranes and derricks that operate on tires. For example, a shipment of mobile cranes used in construction would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers cranes that are not classified elsewhere in heading 8426. If you have a self-propelled crane that runs on rubber tires, this is the appropriate classification, unlike HS-6 842620, which covers other types of cranes.

Self-propelled cranes under this code are typically used in construction, lifting heavy materials, or moving loads in warehouses. They can vary in size and capacity, from small mobile cranes to larger models used on job sites.

When considering this code, it's important to differentiate between mobile cranes and fixed cranes. Fixed cranes would not qualify under 842641, as they are typically mounted on a structure and do not have the self-propelling feature.
