Questions
HS code 852110: common questions
What is HS code 852110?
HS code 852110 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Video recording or reproducing apparatus, whether or not incorporating a video tuner : Magnetic tapetype". The first two digits (85) are the chapter — Electrical machinery and equipment; sound and TV recorders and reproducers — and digits 3-4 (8521) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 852110?
Common products classified under 852110 include VCR, video cassette recorder, tape deck and similar items matching magnetic tapetype. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 852110?
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 852110 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (852110) 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.
