HS Code 846820

HS code 846820 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Machinery and apparatus for soldering, brazing or welding, whether or not capable of cutting, other than those of heading 8515; gasoperated surface tempering machines and appliances : Other gasoperated machinery and apparatus". The first two digits (84) are the chapter — Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts — and digits 3-4 (8468) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 846820 include gas welding machine, gas brazing machine, gas cutting torch, oxyacetylene torch, gas-powered welder and similar items matching other gasoperated machinery and apparatus. 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 (846820) 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.
