Questions
HS code 851762: common questions
What is HS code 851762?
HS code 851762 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Telephone sets, including telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks; other apparatus for the transmission or reception of voice, images or other data, including apparatus for communication in a wired or wireless network (such as a local or wide area network), other than transmission or reception apparatus of heading 8443, 8525, 8527 or 8528 : Other apparatus for the transmission or reception of voice, images or other data, including apparatus for communication in a wired or wireless network (such as a local or wide area network) : Machines for the reception, conversion and transmission or regeneration of voice, images or other data, including switching and routing apparatus". The first two digits (85) are the chapter — Electrical machinery and equipment; sound and TV recorders and reproducers — and digits 3-4 (8517) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 851762?
Common products classified under 851762 include network switch, router, switching equipment, routing apparatus, voice switch, data switch and similar items matching machines for the reception. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 851762?
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 851762 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (851762) 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.
