Questions
HS code 852210: common questions
What is HS code 852210?
HS code 852210 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Parts and accessories suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of heading 8519 or 8521 : Pickup cartridges". The first two digits (85) are the chapter — Electrical machinery and equipment; sound and TV recorders and reproducers — and digits 3-4 (8522) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 852210?
Common products classified under 852210 include phono cartridge, stylus, turntable needle, pickup cartridge and similar items matching pickup cartridges. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 852210?
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 852210 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (852210) 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.
