HS-6 · Subheading
848630
Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of flat panel displays
Heading 8486 — Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays; machines & apparatus specified in note 11 (C) to this Chapter
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 848630 when importing or exporting machines designed specifically for manufacturing flat panel displays. For instance, a shipment of a vacuum deposition machine used to create layers on LCD screens falls under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 848631, which covers machines used for semiconductor devices. While both codes relate to advanced manufacturing, 848630 focuses solely on flat panel display technology.
The HS-6 848630 classification includes equipment like photolithography machines, which are essential for producing high-quality flat panel displays. These machines are critical in the production line for devices such as televisions and computer monitors.
When dealing with this HS code, ensure your equipment is specifically designed for flat panel displays, as machines for other electronic devices may fall under different classifications.
