Questions
HS code 840490: common questions
What is HS code 840490?
HS code 840490 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Auxiliary plant for use with boilers of heading 8402 or 8403 (for example, economisers, superheaters, soot removers, gas recoverers); condensers for steam or other vapour power units : Parts". The first two digits (84) are the chapter — Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts — and digits 3-4 (8404) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 840490?
Common products classified under 840490 include auxiliary plant parts, condenser parts, economizer parts and similar items matching parts. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 840490?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
Is HS code 840490 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (840490) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
