HS-6 · Subheading
847940
Machines; for making rope or cable
Heading 8479 — Machinery and mechanical appliances; having individual functions, n.e.c. in this chapter
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 847940 when importing or exporting machines specifically designed for making rope or cable. This includes equipment that twists, braids, or otherwise processes materials into these forms, such as a cable-making machine that produces electrical wire.
This code is distinct from HS-6 847941, which covers machines for making textile yarns. While both involve the production of strands, 847940 focuses specifically on rope and cable, catering to different manufacturing needs and industries.
The 847940 classification encompasses machines that perform various functions in the rope and cable production process. Examples include machines that extrude plastic or metal wires, as well as those that braid or twist fibers together to create finished products.
When considering HS-6 847940, think about the end-use of the machinery. Equipment that produces climbing ropes, electrical cables, or even fishing lines falls under this classification, making it essential for accurate customs documentation.
