Its first two digits, 84, are the chapter; the first four, 8421, are heading 84.21; the last two, 11, identify the subheading within the heading. Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines. - Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof - Heading 84.21: Centrifuges, including centrifugal dryers; filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus, for liquids or gases - Within the heading: Centrifuges, including centrifugal dryers - Subheading 8421.11: Cream separators ## In other countries No national tariff lines under 8421.11 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 8421.11 at six digits and add their own digits after it. - Previous subheading: [8420.99](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/842099) Parts: Other - Next subheading: [8421.12](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/842112) Centrifuges, including centrifugal dryers: Clothes-dryers ## Frequently asked questions ### What does HS code 8421.11 cover?
