What HS code 8436 covers
Machinery for preparing animal feed sits here too, along with parts.
Germination plant is equipment used to sprout seeds. It belongs in this heading when it comes fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment.
The HS sorts goods in layers. A section holds chapters, a chapter holds headings, and a heading holds subheadings. Heading 8436 sits in Chapter 84, which is part of Section XVI. Think of it as the farm and poultry corner of the machinery chapters.
Six subheadings, and the HS code for parts of 8436 machinery
The heading splits into machines and parts. In plain words, each subheading means this:
- 843610: machines that prepare animal feed
- 843621: poultry incubators and brooders
- 843629: other poultry-keeping machinery
- 843680: other agricultural, horticultural or forestry machinery that is not named elsewhere in 8436
- 843691: parts for poultry-keeping machinery, incubators and brooders
- 843699: parts for the other machinery in this heading
How to choose the right code under 8436
Start with what the machine does. Feed preparation goes to 843610. An incubator or a brooder goes to 843621. Any other poultry machine goes to 843629.
If a machine is for farm, horticultural or forestry work but fits no named line, 843680 is the catch-all. It is a fallback, so rule out the named lines first.
Parts follow the machine they are made for. Parts for the other machinery go to 843699.
The HS code is only the first six digits. Duty depends on the importing country's own tariff, which uses more digits. Check that tariff before you ship. If you are unsure of the code, try the HS code classifier.
