Chapter 84 is a core chapter in the HS classification system, covering nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, mechanical appliances and their parts. Goods in this chapter have power-driven or mechanical motion characteristics and are used in industry, agriculture, mining, construction and other fields. The scope includes power machinery, agricultural machinery, machine tools, office equipment, automatic data processing equipment, lifting and handling machinery, power tools, etc. Within the chapter, headings are arranged by function or use. Heading 8467 is specifically for hand-held power tools, whether or not electric. Heading 8467 covers hand-held power tools, whether or not electric or pneumatic, including electric drills, electric saws, grinders, hydraulic tools, etc. These tools are usually driven by built-in electric motors, pneumatic motors or hydraulic motors, are lightweight and easy to hold for operation. The heading distinguishes electric, pneumatic and other power types, and includes chain saws, drilling, tapping, grinding, polishing and similar tools. Hydraulic tools, as a type of power tool, are classified under this heading. The first 2 digits 84 represent Chapter 84, namely machinery, mechanical appliances and parts, one of the largest chapters in the HS classification. Digits 3-4, 67, are the heading, indicating hand-held power tools, including electric, pneumatic and hydraulic types. Digits 5-6, 30, are the subheading, specifically referring to hydraulic tools, namely tools driven by hydraulic principles, such as hydraulic wrenches, hydraulic jacks, hydraulic crimpers, etc. This subheading may be further subdivided, but 846730 itself is already clearly defined as hydraulic tools. Hydraulic tools are classified under 846730 because they have the characteristics of hand-held power tools and their power source is hydraulic. Unlike electric or pneumatic tools under 8467, hydraulic tools use hydraulic oil to transmit pressure and generate high torque or thrust. Unlike the hydraulic presses of 8462, the latter are stationary non-hand-held equipment. Unlike parts such as hydraulic valves of 8481, 846730 refers to complete tools. Therefore, 846730 is the correct code for hydraulic hand-held tools.

Product name: The Chinese and English names of the declared goods should accurately reflect the type of tool, such as hydraulic wrench, hydraulic jack, etc. Use: Explain the main application scenarios of the tool, such as for bolt tightening, lifting, crimping, etc. Brand: Fill in the brand or trademark of the tool; if there is no brand, write 'no brand'. Model: Fill in the specific model to facilitate identification and classification. Power source: Clearly state hydraulic drive, to distinguish it from electric or pneumatic. Working principle: Briefly describe the hydraulic transmission principle, such as being driven by hydraulic oil pressure. Whether hand-held: Confirm that the tool is hand-held, to facilitate classification under 8467. Product name: hydraulic wrench; Use: for wind turbine bolt tightening; Brand: XXX; Model: HX-2000; Power source: hydraulic; Working principle: high-pressure oil supplied by a hydraulic pump station drives a hydraulic motor to generate torque; Whether hand-held: yes. Mistakenly classifying hydraulic tools under 8462 (hydraulic press), ignoring the hand-held characteristic. Failure to specify the power source, resulting in confusion with electric tools. Incomplete declaration elements, such as missing brand or model, affecting customs clearance.

The core basis for classification is: 1. whether it is a hand-held power tool; 2. whether the power source is hydraulic; 3. whether it has a tool function rather than being a machine part. It is necessary to combine the Explanatory Notes to the Tariff for 8467 and the definition of hydraulic tools. If the tool is stationary or not hydraulically driven, it is classified under other headings. 8462 Hydraulic press: 8462 is a stationary hydraulic press used for metalworking, etc., and is not hand-held; 846730 is a hand-held hydraulic tool. 8467 Other hand-held power tools: Other subheadings under 8467 are electric or pneumatic tools; 846730 specifically refers to hydraulic tools. 8481 Hydraulic valve: 8481 is a part of a hydraulic system, not a complete tool; 846730 is a complete hydraulic tool. 8204 Hand-operated wrench: 8204 is a hand tool without power; 846730 is a hydraulic power tool. Is the tool hand-held? Is the power source hydraulic? Is it a complete tool rather than a part? Does it have a tool function rather than being a machine? Is it distinguished from the hydraulic press of 8462?

How can I look up the HS code for hydraulic tools? You can use the customs tariff, HS code query websites, or consult a customs broker. Enter the keyword 'hydraulic tools', filter Chapter 84, and find 846730. Be sure to confirm that the tool is hand-held and hydraulically driven. What is the difference in classification between hydraulic tools and electric tools? Hydraulic tools are classified under 846730, while electric tools are classified under other subheadings of 8467 (such as 846721 electric drills). The main difference lies in the power source: hydraulic tools use hydraulic oil, while electric tools use electricity. Proof of power source is required for classification. Are hydraulic jacks classified under 846730? Hand-held hydraulic jacks are classified under 846730. However, stationary hydraulic jacks may be classified under 8425 or 8462. Judgment should be based on whether they are hand-held and their use. What elements should be noted when declaring hydraulic tools? It is necessary to declare the product name, use, brand, model, power source, working principle, whether hand-held, etc. Ensure the elements are complete and accurate to avoid rejection or penalties due to inaccurate declaration. How are parts of hydraulic tools classified? Parts of hydraulic tools are generally classified under the parts subheading of 8467 (such as 846791), but if they are general-purpose parts (such as sealing rings), they may be classified under other headings. Judgment should be based on the specificity of the part. Do hydraulic tools require special supervision for export? Generally there is no special supervision, but if they involve dual-use items or technology export, relevant regulations must be complied with. It is recommended to check the export control list to confirm whether a license is required. What is the difference between 846730 and 846789? 846730 specifically refers to hydraulic tools, while 846789 covers other hand-held power tools (such as pneumatic or internal combustion engine driven). The difference lies in the type of power. What are the consequences of incorrect classification? It may lead to customs inspection, supplementary taxes, fines, and even affect the enterprise's credit. It is recommended to classify accurately and apply for advance classification when necessary.
