Philippines HS Code

HS Code 853690: Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits (for example, switches, relays, fuses, surge suppressors, plugs, sockets, lamp holders and other connectors, junction boxes), for a voltage not exceeding 1000 V; connectors for optical fibres, optical fibre bundles or cables : Other apparatus in Philippines

Q: Is HS code 853690 the same across all countries?

Yes — up to the 6-digit level, HS code 853690 is the same in every WCO member country. Beyond 6 digits, each country extends the code for national tariff and statistical use. Philippines extends it under AHTN.

Q: What system does Philippines use to classify HS code 853690?

Philippines classifies products under the ASEAN Harmonized Tariff Nomenclature 2022 (AHTN; locally Taripang Pang-Aduana (AHTN 2022)), which extends HS codes to 8 digits. The first 6 digits align with the WCO Harmonized System, and the rest cover national tariff and statistical needs.
