HS-6 · Subheading
847950
Machinery and mechanical appliances; industrial robots, n.e.c. or included
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 847950 when importing or exporting industrial robots and similar machinery that perform specific functions not classified elsewhere. For example, this code applies to a shipment of robotic arms used in automotive assembly lines.
This code is distinct from HS-6 847910, which covers programmable robots specifically designed for use in manufacturing. If your equipment is not programmable but still operates in an industrial capacity, HS-6 847950 is the appropriate classification.
The HS-6 847950 line includes industrial robots and appliances that perform specialized tasks, such as robotic welding machines or automated packaging systems. These machines are designed for specific industrial applications, making them essential for modern manufacturing processes.
When classifying your product, consider the function and design. If your machinery is an industrial robot that doesn't fit into the more specific categories, HS-6 847950 is likely the right choice.
