Electric (electrically heated gas) soldering, brazing, welding machines and apparatus, capable or not of cutting, electric machines and apparatus for hot spraying of metals or sintered carbides
6-digit subheadings (8)
Official HS 2022 subheading texts. National tariff schedules subdivide these further (8-10 digit lines) and set the actual duty rates.
Brazing or soldering machines and apparatus; soldering irons and guns, whether or not capable of cutting
Brazing or soldering machines and apparatus; other than soldering irons and guns, whether or not capable of cutting
Welding machines and apparatus; for resistance welding of metal, fully or partly automatic, whether or not capable of cutting
Welding machines and apparatus; for resistance welding of metal, other than fully or partly automatic, whether or not capable of cutting
Welding machines and apparatus; for arc (including plasma arc) welding of metals, fully or partly automatic, whether or not capable of cutting
Welding machines and apparatus; for arc (including plasma arc) welding of metals, other than fully or partly automatic, whether or not capable of cutting
Welding machines and apparatus; n.e.c. in heading no. 8515, whether or not capable of cutting
Welding, brazing or soldering machines; parts of the machines of heading no. 8515
Chapter 85 classification notes
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.
