HS Code 848620

HS code 848620 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Machines and apparatus of a kind used solely or principally for the manufacture of semiconductor boules or wafers, semiconductor devices, electronic integrated circuits or flat panel displays; machines and apparatus specified in note 9(C) to this chapter; parts and accessories : Machines and apparatus for the manufacture of semiconductor devices or of electronic integrated circuits". The first two digits (84) are the chapter — Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts — and digits 3-4 (8486) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 848620 include semiconductor device fabrication equipment, chip manufacturing machines, IC fabrication tools, wafer steppers, lithography machines and similar items matching machines and apparatus for the manufacture of…. 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 (848620) 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.
