Questions

HS code 842131: common questions

What is HS code 842131?

HS code 842131 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Centrifuges, including centrifugal dryers; filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus, for liquids or gases : Filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for gases : Intake air filters for internal combustion engines". The first two digits (84) are the chapter — Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts — and digits 3-4 (8421) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

What products fall under HS 842131?

Common products classified under 842131 include air filter, engine air filter, intake filter, car air filter, air cleaner and similar items matching intake air filters for internal combustion engines. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

How do I find the import duty for HS code 842131?

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 842131 the same in every country?

The first 6 digits (842131) 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.
