HS subheadings under 8434 and what each one is for
The heading has three HS subheadings. Each one answers a different question about the goods you ship or buy.
- 843410 is for milking machines, the machines that take milk from animals.
- 843420 is for dairy machinery, the equipment that works with milk after it is collected.
How to choose between 843410, 843420 and 843490
Start with one question: is the item a whole machine or a part? A whole machine for milking goes under 843410. A whole machine for dairy work goes under 843420.
A part made for one of these machines goes under 843490. This is the answer if you are asking which HS code covers parts of milking machines. Check what the part is made for, not only what it looks like.
The code does not carry a duty rate. Duty is set by each country in its own national tariff, so the same code can be taxed differently from one market to the next. If you are not sure about your product, try the HS code classifier before you file.
