What HS code 8450 covers
Think of the washing machine hs code as a small family. It also holds machines that both wash and dry, so a washer dryer hs code starts here too.
Inside it, the goods are split by how the machine works and how much it can hold. Parts have their own code. That makes the split easy to follow once you know the questions to ask.
How to choose the right 8450 code
Customs wants one code per product. Work through the questions below in order. The first clear answer usually points to the right code.
Start with the machine itself. If it is a part and not a complete machine, use 845090.
If it is a complete machine, check its dry linen capacity. A machine that takes more than 10kg goes to 845020, and the other three codes cover machines up to 10kg.
- 845012: a machine with a built-in centrifugal drier that is not fully-automatic, up to 10kg.
- 845019: a machine that is not fully-automatic and has no built-in centrifugal drier, up to 10kg.
Difference between HS 8450 and 8451
Heading 8451 is written to exclude machines of heading 8450. It covers machinery for washing, cleaning, wringing, drying, ironing, pressing, bleaching, dyeing and finishing textile yarn, fabrics or made up articles. In short, 8450 is the household and laundry-type machine, and 8451 is the textile-industry machinery.
Some neighbours cause mix-ups as well. Centrifuges, including centrifugal dryers, sit in heading 8421. A dish washing machine is not a clothes washer, so it goes to heading 8422. Refrigerators and freezers belong to heading 8418.
If you are still unsure, test your product with the HS code classifier. Always match the exact wording of the code, because customs checks the words, not the nickname of the product.
