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

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. China extends it under China HS / CCCHS.

Q: What system does China use to classify HS code 853230?

China classifies products under the Customs Import and Export Tariff of the People's Republic of China (China HS / CCCHS; locally 中华人民共和国海关进出口税则), which extends HS codes to 13 digits. The first 6 digits align with the WCO Harmonized System, and the rest cover national tariff and statistical needs.
