Reading code 845940

The first two digits (84) place this code in chapter 84 — Machinery and Mechanical Appliances. Heading 8459 groups the product family, and the remaining digits pin down this specific 6-digit classification. Remember: you can never invent a shorter code by truncating a longer one — only codes that exist in the official tariff are valid.

The biggest goods chapter: engines, pumps, compressors, ACs, refrigerators, computers and laptops (8471), and industrial machinery of every kind.
