Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 844010 when importing or exporting book-binding machinery, such as machines that stitch or glue books together. For instance, a shipment of a fully automated book-binding machine designed for high-volume production falls under this code.
This HS-6 specifically covers machinery used in the book-binding process, distinguishing it from other types of machinery in HS-4 8440. For example, while HS-6 844020 refers to book-sewing machines, HS-6 844010 includes machines that perform multiple binding functions.
If you're dealing with machinery that combines various book-binding techniques, such as folding, gluing, and trimming, you'll want to use this code. It’s essential to differentiate between machines that only sew and those that offer a complete binding solution.
When classifying machinery, consider the specific functions and capabilities of the equipment. For example, a machine that only stitches book spines would fall under a different HS-6 code than one that also applies adhesive.
