CHAPTER

85 — Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof

In plain English

This category covers monitors, projectors, and television reception devices that may include radio or recording functions. The items are split into groups based on whether they are monitors or projectors, and whether they connect to automatic data processing machines. Television receivers are further divided by the type of screen they have, such as color, monochrome, or no screen at all. Monitors and projectors are also separated by their display technology, distinguishing between cathode-ray tubes and other types.

Chapter 85 classification notes

High-value electronics. Many products duty-free under ITA/ITA-2. Anti-dumping duties on solar panels from China in US and EU. Lithium battery transport regulations (IATA DGR) apply in addition to customs. CE/FCC/UKCA marking requirements.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Many importers confuse 85 (electrical) and 84 (mechanical). A device with both elements usually classifies by principal function. Chargers and adapters classified separately from the device they charge.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
