HS-6 · Subheading
843050
Machinery; for handling earth, minerals or ores, self-propelled, n.e.c. in heading no. 8430
Heading 8430 — Moving, grading, levelling, scraping, excavating, tamping, compacting, extracting or boring machinery, for earth, minerals, or ores; pile drivers and extractors; snow ploughs and snow blowers
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 843050 when importing or exporting self-propelled machinery designed for handling earth, minerals, or ores. For example, a self-propelled bulldozer used in construction projects falls under this code.
This code specifically applies to machinery that is self-propelled and not classified elsewhere in heading 8430. In contrast, HS-6 843010 covers similar machinery but is specifically for those that are not self-propelled, like manual excavators.
Self-propelled machinery under this code includes equipment that can move independently, such as motor graders and compactors. This distinguishes it from HS-6 843060, which focuses on machinery for specific tasks like pile driving.
When classifying machinery, consider the primary function and propulsion method. If the equipment is designed to move earth or minerals and is self-propelled, 843050 is likely the correct classification.

- What types of machinery are classified under HS-6 843050?
- HS-6 843050 includes self-propelled machinery like bulldozers, motor graders, and compactors used for handling earth, minerals, or ores.
- How do I know if my equipment is self-propelled?
- Self-propelled equipment has its own power source and can move independently without being towed or pushed by another vehicle.
- Can I classify a manual excavator under HS-6 843050?
- No, manual excavators are not self-propelled and should be classified under a different code, such as HS-6 843010.
- What is the difference between HS-6 843050 and HS-6 843060?
- HS-6 843050 covers self-propelled machinery, while HS-6 843060 focuses on machinery specifically designed for tasks like pile driving.
- Is a snow blower classified under HS-6 843050?
- Yes, if the snow blower is self-propelled, it can be classified under HS-6 843050.
- How do I classify a self-propelled compactor?
- A self-propelled compactor would be classified under HS-6 843050, as it is designed for compacting earth or minerals.
- What documentation do I need for importing machinery under HS-6 843050?
- You will typically need an invoice, packing list, and possibly a certificate of origin or compliance to import machinery under this code.
- Are there any specific regulations for importing self-propelled machinery?
- Yes, regulations may vary by country, so it's important to check local customs requirements and ensure compliance with safety and environmental standards.
