Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 842930 when importing or exporting self-propelled scrapers, which are essential for earth-moving tasks on construction sites. For instance, a shipment of a self-propelled scraper with a capacity of 12 cubic yards falls under this code.
This code specifically applies to self-propelled scrapers, distinguishing them from other earth-moving machinery like bulldozers or graders, which are classified under different HS codes. For example, HS-6 842910 covers bulldozers, while HS-6 842931 includes graders.
Self-propelled scrapers are designed to perform tasks such as grading, leveling, and moving large quantities of earth. They typically have a large bowl at the front that can be raised or lowered, allowing for efficient material handling.
When classifying your machinery, ensure it meets the criteria for self-propelled scrapers. If your equipment has a different function, such as a mechanical shovel or excavator, you may need to look at other subheadings under HS-4 8429.
