HS Code 854720

HS code 854720 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Insulating fittings for electrical machines, appliances or equipment, being fittings wholly of insulating material apart from any minor components of metal (for example, threaded sockets) incorporated during moulding solely for purposes of assembly, other than insulators of heading 8546; electrical conduit tubing and joints therefor, of base metal lined with insulating material : Insulating fittings of plastics". The first two digits (85) are the chapter — Electrical machinery and equipment; sound and TV recorders and reproducers — and digits 3-4 (8547) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 854720 include plastic insulating fitting, plastic bushing, plastic terminal block, polymer insulator fitting and similar items matching insulating fittings of plastics. 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 (854720) 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.
