## How it is structured

8483.10 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 84, are the chapter; the first four, 8483, are heading 84.83; the last two, 10, 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 84.83: Transmission shafts (including cam shafts and crank shafts) and cranks; bearing housings and plain shaft bearings; gears and gearing; ball or roller screws; gear boxes and other speed changers, including torque converters; flywheels and pulleys, including pulley blocks; clutches and shaft couplings (including universal joints)
- Subheading 8483.10: Transmission shafts (including cam shafts and crank shafts) and cranks

## In other countries

No national tariff lines under 8483.10 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 8483.10 at six digits and add their own digits after it.
