United States of America HS Code

HS Code 853340: Other variable resistors, including rheostats and potentiometers in United States of America

Q: Is HS code 853340 the same across all countries?

Yes — up to the 6-digit level, HS code 853340 is the same in every WCO member country. Beyond 6 digits, each country extends the code for national tariff and statistical use. United States of America extends it under HTS / HTSUS.

Q: What system does United States of America use to classify HS code 853340?

United States of America classifies products under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS / HTSUS; locally Harmonized Tariff Schedule), 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.
