854800
Electrical parts of machinery or apparatus; not specified or elsewhere included in this chapter
Heading 8548 — Electrical parts of machinery or apparatus; not specified or elsewhere included in this chapter
Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 854800 when importing or exporting electrical parts of machinery that don't fit into specific categories. For example, if you're shipping electrical connectors or circuit boards that are integral to machinery but not classified elsewhere, this code applies.
This code is distinct from HS-6 854810, which covers electrical transformers. While both involve electrical components, 854800 is for parts that serve broader functions across various machinery types.
When dealing with electrical parts that are not specified in other headings, HS-6 854800 is your go-to choice. This includes items like electrical control panels or wiring harnesses that are essential for machinery operation but lack a more specific classification.
If you're unsure whether your product fits under HS-6 854800, consider if it serves a general electrical function in machinery. If it does, this code is likely appropriate.
