What heading 8422 covers
Think of this heading as two groups of machines. The first group is dishwashing machines. The second group is packaging machinery that works on containers such as bottles, cans, boxes and bags.
The packaging group does several jobs. Some machines clean or dry the container. Some fill it, close it, seal it, cap it or put a label on it. Others pack or wrap the finished goods. Drink aerating machines, which add gas to beverages, also belong here.
People in India know the same heading as HSN code 8422. The six-digit codes under it are the ones you put on a customs form, because customs checks the wording of those codes.
How to choose the right 8422 code
Start with what the machine does. Then match it to the wording of one six-digit code.
What is the HS code for a dishwasher? It depends on who the machine is built for. A household dishwasher goes under 842211. A commercial dishwasher, or any dishwasher that is not the household type, goes under 842219.
For packaging machinery, ask which step the machine performs:
- Bottle cleaning machinery, meaning machines that clean or dry bottles and other containers: 842220.
- Filling and sealing machines, a capping machine, labelling machinery and beverage aerating machinery: 842230.
- Packing and wrapping machines: 842240.
- Parts of machines in this heading: 842290.
Filling and sealing or packing and wrapping?
Buyers often mix up 842230 and 842240. A simple test helps. If the machine works on the bottle, can or bag itself, look at 842230. If it puts goods into outer packs or wraps them, look at 842240.
Some lines do both jobs in one frame. In that case, check what the machine mainly does before you pick a code.
Spare parts have their own place. Parts go under 842290, not under the code of the full machine. If you are still unsure, try the HS code classifier.
