HS Code 844851

HS code 844851 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Auxiliary machinery for use with machines of heading 8444, 8445, 8446 or 8447 (for example, dobbies, jacquards, automatic stop motions, shuttle changing mechanisms); parts and accessories suitable for use solely or principally with the machines of this heading or of heading 8444, 8445, 8446 or 8447 (for example, spindles and spindle flyers, card clothing, combs, extruding nipples, shuttles, healds and healdframes, hosiery needles) : Parts and accessories of machines of heading 8447 or of their auxiliary machinery : Sinkers, needles and other articles used in forming stitches". The first two digits (84) are the chapter — Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts — and digits 3-4 (8448) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 844851 include knitting needle, sinker, latch needle, spring needle, knitting machine needle, stitch forming parts and similar items matching sinkers. 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 (844851) 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.
