HS Code 8424Mechanical appliances for projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders; fire extinguishers, spray guns, steam, sand blasting machines
8 six-digit codes · Heading 24 of 86 in Chapter 84 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 8424 covers machines that spray, spread or blast liquids and powders, from fire extinguishers to spray guns and farm sprayers.
Heading 8424 is finely cut: 8 six-digit codes, 842410 to 842490, all of them under “Mechanical appliances for projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders; fire extinguishers, spray guns, steam, sand blasting machines”. At that depth it is the exact wording of the code, not of the heading, that settles a classification. The heading is number 24 of 86 in Chapter 84, Machinery and mechanical appliances, boilers, nuclear reactors; parts thereof, which runs to 538 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 8424 covers
This heading is for devices that throw, spread or spray a liquid or a powder. Some are held in the hand. Others are driven by a motor. A fire extinguisher, a paint spray gun and a garden sprayer all sit here. So do steam blasting machines and sand blasting machines, which fire a jet at a surface.
It is part of Chapter 84 machinery, the group for mechanical appliances. You may also see it written as HSN code 8424. The number is the same. The first six digits of a code are shared by countries that use the Harmonized System. Many countries add more digits for their own tariff lines, so check the full code your customs office asks for.
How do I confirm the correct HS code for a sprayer?
Start with what the machine does. Then check how it is built and who uses it.
Fire extinguishers go to 842410. It does not matter if the extinguisher is filled or empty.
Farm and garden sprayers are split by how you move them. Sprayers that are not portable belong in 842449. Other farm or garden appliances in this heading, with no code of their own, go to 842482.
Spraying devices for use outside farming and gardening go to 842489. This code applies whether the machine is hand-operated or not. Check the codes above first, and use this one only when none of them fits.
Parts of spraying machines are not classed with the whole machine. They go to 842490.
If you are still unsure, run the product through the HS code classifier.
