Canada HS Code

HS Code 850162: AC generators (alternators) : Of an output exceeding 75 kVA but not exceeding 375 kVA in Canada

Q: What is HS code 850162 in Canada?

HS code 850162 covers AC generators (alternators) : Of an output exceeding 75 kVA but not exceeding 375 kVA in Canada. It sits in Chapter 85 (Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recordersand reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts andaccessories of such articles), Heading 8501 of the Harmonized System, and is classified under Canada HS.

Q: Is HS code 850162 the same across all countries?

Yes — up to the 6-digit level, HS code 850162 is the same in every WCO member country. Beyond 6 digits, each country extends the code for national tariff and statistical use. Canada extends it under Canada HS.

Q: What system does Canada use to classify HS code 850162?

Canada classifies products under the Customs Tariff of Canada (Canada HS; locally Tarif des douanes du Canada), 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.
