Australia HS Code

HS Code 85333900: Wirewound variable electrical resistors, incl. rheostats and potentiometers, for a power handling capacity > 20 W (excl. heating resistors) in Australia

Q: Is HS code 85333900 the same across all countries?

Only the first 6 digits of HS code 85333900 are internationally harmonized. The remaining digits are added by Australia under HS-AU / AHECC and are not directly comparable to other countries' codes.

Q: What system does Australia use to classify HS code 85333900?

Australia classifies products under the Australian Customs Tariff Working Pages / AHECC (HS-AU / AHECC; locally Working Tariff), which extends HS codes to 10 digits. The first 6 digits align with the WCO Harmonized System, and the rest cover national tariff and statistical needs.
