What is HS code 854143?

HS code 854143 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Diodes, transistors and similar semiconductor devices; photosensitive semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic cells whether or not assembled in modules or made up into panels; light-emitting diodes (LED); mounted piezoelectric crystals: Photosensitive semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic cells whether or not assembled in modules or made up into panels; light-emitting diodes (LED): Photovoltaic cells assembled in modules or made up into panels". The first two digits (85) are the chapter: Electrical machinery and equipment; sound and TV recorders and reproducers. Digits 3-4 (8541) are the heading. Countries add more digits for their national tariff line, for example 10 digits in the US HTS.

What products fall under HS 854143?

Common products classified under 854143 include solar panel, solar module, PV module, photovoltaic panel, photovoltaic module and similar items. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

How do I find the import duty for HS code 854143?

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market. The links on this page open USITC HTS (US) and TARIC (EU) at 854143, the UK Trade Tariff at heading 8541 and the Australian tariff at chapter 85. Then look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

Is HS code 854143 the same in every country?

The first 6 digits (854143) 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 Chinese supplier gives me?

Treat it as a clue. Supplier codes are often China export codes, and they can be incomplete or wrong for your country. Check it against the official tariff and your product's real material and use.

Is HSN code 854143 the same as HS code 854143?

Yes at the 6-digit level. India's HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) uses the same WCO base, so HSN 854143 covers the same products as HS 854143. India then extends it to 8 digits for GST and customs. Check the Indian Customs tariff (CBIC) for the full national line.
