HS Code 854430

HS code 854430 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Insulated (including enamelled or anodised) wire, cable (including coaxial cable) and other insulated electric conductors, whether or not fitted with connectors; optical fibre cables, made up of individually sheathed fibres, whether or not assembled with electric conductors or fitted with connectors : Ignition wiring sets and other wiring sets of a kind used in vehicles, aircraft or ships". The first two digits (85) are the chapter — Electrical machinery and equipment; sound and TV recorders and reproducers — and digits 3-4 (8544) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 854430 include ignition wire set, spark plug wires, ignition cables, auto wiring harness, vehicle wiring set, aircraft ignition harness and similar items matching ignition wiring sets and other wiring sets of a…. 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 (854430) 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.
