HTS Chapter 85

Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof

143 HTS codes in this chapter

Machinery and electronics

Chapters 84 and 85 are the most important by world trade volume, covering machinery, mechanical appliances, and devices (84) and electrical machinery, equipment, and parts (85). They include everything from computers, mobile phones, and semiconductors to industrial machinery, turbines, and home appliances. Mexico is a global electronics manufacturing hub, with massive component imports for assembly and export. Classification is highly technical and depends on the apparatus's primary function, components, and use. USMCA rules of origin for electronics are specific and complex, with regional value content requirements.
