HS Code 844512

HS code 844512 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Machines for preparing textile fibres; spinning, doubling or twisting machines and other machinery for producing textile yarns; textile reeling or winding (including weftwinding) machines and machines for preparing textile yarns for use on the machines of heading 8446 or 8447 : Machines for preparing textile fibres : Combing machines". The first two digits (84) are the chapter — Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts — and digits 3-4 (8445) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 844512 include combing machine, textile comber, wool comber, cotton comber, fiber combing machine, comber machine and similar items matching combing machines. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

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.

The first 6 digits (844512) 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.

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.
