HS-6 · Subheading
854390
Electrical machines and apparatus; parts of the electrical goods of heading no. 8543
Heading 8543 — Electrical machines and apparatus; having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter
Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 854390 when importing or exporting parts of electrical machines and apparatus that don't fit into specific categories. For example, this could include components like circuit boards or connectors used in various electrical devices.
This code is distinct from HS-6 854391, which covers specific electrical parts like transformers. If your product is a generic component without a specific function listed elsewhere, 854390 is likely the correct choice.
The 854390 line encompasses a variety of electrical apparatus parts, including those used in sound recording equipment or other electrical machines not explicitly defined in the preceding headings. This could include items like resistors or capacitors that serve various functions.
When classifying your goods, consider if they are integral to a specific electrical machine or if they serve a broader purpose. If they are generic parts that support multiple electrical applications, HS-6 854390 is appropriate.
