Each one carries its own customs description, and the exact wording below is what a classification has to match. The heading is number 74 of 86 in Chapter 84, Machinery and mechanical appliances, boilers, nuclear reactors; parts thereof, which runs to 538 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 8475
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 847510 | Machines; for assembling electric or electronic lamps, tubes, valves or flashbulbs, in glass envelopes |
| 847521 | Machines; for manufacturing or hot working glass or glassware, for making optical fibres and preforms thereof |
| 847529 | Machines; for manufacturing or hot working glass or glassware, not for making optical fibres and preforms thereof |
| 847590 | Machines; parts, of those for assembling electric or electronic lamps, tubes, valves or flash-bulbs, in glass envelopes and manufacturing or hot working glass or glassware |
What HS code 8475 covers
Think of this heading as glass machinery. One group of machines assembles lamps, tubes, valves and flashbulbs that sit in glass envelopes. The other group makes glass or glassware, or shapes it with heat.
You may see this number written as HSN code 8475 or HTS code 8475. Local systems add extra digits after the first six. The six-digit level is the shared international base, so the same machine lands in the same place in every country that uses the Harmonized System.
The heading belongs to the machinery chapter of the tariff. If your goods are not machines for these jobs, a nearby heading is probably a better fit.
How to choose the right 8475 subheading
Work through the codes in this order. Start with what the machine does. Then check whether it is a whole machine or only a part.
- 847510: the machine assembles lamps, tubes, valves or flashbulbs in glass envelopes.
- 847521: the machine makes or hot works glass, and it is built for optical fibres and their preforms.
- 847529: the machine makes or hot works glass or glassware, but it is not for optical fibres or preforms.
- 847590: the item is a part of one of the machines above.
HS code for machines for making optical fibres and preforms
The split between 847521 and 847529 is the end use. If the machine is made for optical fibres and preforms, use 847521. If it works glass or glassware for any other purpose, use 847529.
Read the exact wording of each code before you decide. A wrong choice at this step can cause delays at customs, so keep the machine's data sheet with you.
Parts of machinery of heading 8475
Parts of other kinds of machines do not belong here. Check the machine first, then place the part.
