About this HS Code
HS Code 8479 covers machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified elsewhere in Chapter 84. This diverse catch-all classification includes detailed subcategories for specialized machinery types including public works machinery (8479.10), oil extraction/processing equipment (8479.20), fiberboard presses (8479.30), rope/cable making machines (8479.40), industrial robots (8479.50), evaporative air coolers (8479.60), passenger boarding bridges (8479.71-8479.79), and various other specialized machinery (8479.81-8479.89). The category's breadth reflects the tremendous diversity of specialized mechanical solutions developed for specific industrial applications. Products range from electronic component assembly equipment to waste compactors and automated manufacturing systems. Technical specifications vary widely based on intended function, from basic operational parameters to sophisticated performance metrics for advanced automation systems. This division accommodates specialized machinery that doesn't fit conventional classifications, providing tariff treatment for innovative equipment and emerging technologies while maintaining the Harmonized System's structural integrity. The category's flexibility supports the classification of novel mechanical solutions addressing specific industrial needs beyond standardized equipment types.
