HS Code 854330

HS code 854330 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter : Machines and apparatus for electroplating, electrolysis or electrophoresis". The first two digits (85) are the chapter — Electrical machinery and equipment; sound and TV recorders and reproducers — and digits 3-4 (8543) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 854330 include electroplating machine, electrolysis apparatus, electrophoresis equipment, plating system, power supply for plating and similar items matching machines and apparatus for electroplating. 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 (854330) 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.
