HS Code 902490

HS code 902490 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Machines and appliances for testing the hardness, strength, compressibility, elasticity or other mechanical properties of materials (for example, metals, wood, textiles, paper, plastics) : Parts and accessories". The first two digits (90) are the chapter — Optical, photographic, measuring, medical or surgical instruments — and digits 3-4 (9024) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 902490 include testing machine parts, accessories for material testers, grips, extensometers, load cells, test fixtures and similar items matching parts and accessories. 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 (902490) 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.
