Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 854790 when importing or exporting insulating fittings made from materials other than ceramics or plastics, typically used in electrical machinery. For example, you might ship metal or rubber fittings that secure electrical connections in motors or generators.

This code specifically targets insulating fittings that are not classified as insulators under HS-6 8546. If you're dealing with insulating materials like rubber grommets or metal bushings for electrical devices, this is the right classification.

In contrast, HS-6 854791 covers insulating fittings made of ceramics or plastics, which are not applicable here. Ensure you distinguish between these materials to avoid misclassification.

When assessing whether to use this code, consider the end-use of the fittings. If they are designed for electrical machines or appliances and do not fall under the ceramic or plastic categories, then HS-6 854790 is appropriate.
