Questions & answers

For orientation only—the binding text is your national tariff and the WCO nomenclature your country uses.

What types of generators are classified under HS code 850213?

HS code 850213 covers electric generating sets with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines, specifically those with an output exceeding 375 kVA.

How do I know if my generator qualifies for HS code 850213?

Check the output capacity of your generator. If it exceeds 375 kVA and is powered by a diesel or semi-diesel engine, it falls under HS code 850213.

What is the difference between HS code 850211 and HS code 850213?

HS code 850211 is for electric generating sets with outputs not exceeding 375 kVA, while 850213 is for those with outputs exceeding that threshold.

Can I use HS code 850213 for generators powered by gasoline?

No, HS code 850213 is specifically for diesel or semi-diesel engine generators. Gasoline-powered generators fall under different codes.

What documentation do I need for importing under HS code 850213?

You will typically need an invoice, packing list, and any relevant certifications for the generator, including specifications that confirm the output capacity.

Are there any special regulations for importing diesel generators?

Yes, depending on your country, there may be environmental regulations and emissions standards that your diesel generator must meet for import.

How can I determine the correct HS code for my generator?

Review the specifications of your generator, including engine type and output capacity, and consult the HS code classification guidelines or a customs broker if needed.
