Chapter 85 is a major category of electromechanical products in the HS classification system, covering electric motors, generators, transformers, batteries, electromagnets, permanent magnets, electrothermal appliances, electric lighting, electronic components, and communication equipment, etc. Its core characteristic is that the goods have as their primary function the generation, conversion, storage, or utilization of electrical energy, or are themselves electrical devices and parts. Heading 8505 is located in the middle section of this chapter and specifically deals with electromagnets, permanent magnets, electromagnetic clutches, and other magnetic functional devices, forming a functional distinction from subsequent headings such as batteries, resistors, and circuit switches. Heading 8505 covers electromagnets, permanent magnets, and similar magnetic articles, including electromagnets, permanent magnets (whether or not magnetized), electromagnetic clutches, electromagnetic brakes, electromagnetic couplings, electromagnetic lifting heads, and permanent magnet lifting heads, etc. This heading includes both electromagnetic devices that use electric current to generate magnetism and permanent magnet articles that possess magnetism without the need for current, but excludes magnetic materials themselves (such as unmade-up magnetic powder or magnetic sheets) as well as magnetic recording media, magnetic toys, and other goods classified under other headings. Code 850519 is a six-digit subheading. The first two digits 85 indicate Chapter 85, namely electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles. The 3rd-4th digits 05 constitute heading 8505, indicating electromagnets, permanent magnets, and similar magnetic articles. The 5th-6th digits 19 are the subheading, indicating "other magnets," i.e., magnets other than 850511 (metal permanent magnets) and 850519. 850511 generally refers to metal permanent magnets (such as alnico, samarium cobalt, neodymium iron boron, and other metal or alloy permanent magnets), while 850519 covers non-metal permanent magnets, ferrite permanent magnets, plastic magnets, rubber magnets, and other magnets not elsewhere specified. This subheading is the residual subheading under heading 8505, used to accommodate various magnet articles that do not fall within the scope of metal permanent magnets. This product is classified under 850519 because it is a permanent magnet or similar magnetic article but is not a metal permanent magnet under 850511. If the magnet is made of ferrite, plastic, rubber, or other non-metal materials, or is a composite of metal and non-metal but does not have metal permanent magnet as its essential character, it cannot be classified under 850511. At the same time, if the product is magnetic powder, magnetic sheet, or other magnetic material not made up into specific shapes, it is generally classified under other chapters according to the material's nature; if it is a magnetic recording medium, it is classified under 8523; if it is a magnetic toy, it is classified under 9503. Therefore, 850519 is the correct classification for permanent magnet products after excluding metal permanent magnets.

Heading
Heading 8505 covers electromagnets, permanent magnets, and similar magnetic articles, including electromagnets, permanent magnets (whether or not magnetized), electromagnetic clutches, electromagnetic brakes, electromagnetic couplings, electromagnetic lifting heads, and permanent magnet lifting heads, etc. This heading includes both electromagnetic devices that use electric current to generate magnetism and permanent magnet articles that possess magnetism without the need for current, but excludes magnetic materials themselves (such as unmade-up magnetic powder or magnetic sheets) as well as magnetic recording media, magnetic toys, and other goods classified under other headings.
Digit Breakdown
Code 850519 is a six-digit subheading. The first two digits 85 indicate Chapter 85, namely electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles. The 3rd-4th digits 05 constitute heading 8505, indicating electromagnets, permanent magnets, and similar magnetic articles.

This subheading is the residual subheading under heading 8505, used to accommodate various magnet articles that do not fall within the scope of metal permanent magnets.
Classification Basis
This product is classified under 850519 because it is a permanent magnet or similar magnetic article but is not a metal permanent magnet under 850511. If the magnet is made of ferrite, plastic, rubber, or other non-metal materials, or is a composite of metal and non-metal but does not have metal permanent magnet as its essential character, it cannot be classified under 850511. At the same time, if the product is magnetic powder, magnetic sheet, or other magnetic material not made up into specific shapes, it is generally classified under other chapters according to the material's nature; if it is a magnetic recording medium, it is classified under 8523; if it is a magnetic toy, it is classified under 9503. Therefore, 850519 is the correct classification for permanent magnet products after excluding metal permanent magnets.
