Canada HS Code

HS Code 853230: Variable or adjustable (preset) capacitors in Canada

Q: Is HS code 853230 the same across all countries?

Yes — up to the 6-digit level, HS code 853230 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 853230?

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.
