How it is structured
8421.23 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 84, are the chapter; the first four, 8421, are heading 84.21; the last two, 23, identify the subheading within the heading.
Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.
- Heading 84.21
- Centrifuges, including centrifugal dryers; filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus, for liquids or gases
- Within the heading
- Filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for liquids
- Subheading 8421.23
- Oil or petrol-filters for internal combustion engines
In other countries
No national tariff lines under 8421.23 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 8421.23 at six digits and add their own digits after it.
