HTS heading 8422 is a broad category for machinery used to clean, dry, fill, close, seal, label, cap, pack, wrap, or aerate containers. It includes dishwashing machines, equipment for bottles and other containers, packing and wrapping machinery, beverage-aerating machines, and parts of this equipment.
The 4-digit heading is only the starting point. To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS subheading, identify the machine’s principal function and then follow the more detailed legal descriptions under heading 8422. The subdivisions commonly distinguish the equipment by type, use, or construction features; do not assume that “material” alone determines the code. Parts may be classified separately from complete machines, depending on their design and use.
What to check
- Describe the machine’s principal function: cleaning, drying, filling, closing, sealing, labeling, capping, packing, wrapping, or aerating.
- Check whether the item is a complete machine, a combination machine, or a part designed for use with qualifying machinery.
- Review every subheading under 8422 and compare the product’s technical specifications with the exact wording, including container type and operating method.
- Do not classify solely by the material handled or by the item’s marketing name; verify the machine’s actual operation and essential function.
- Confirm the final 8-digit code against the current HTSUS, relevant legal notes, and, when the classification is uncertain, a customs broker or binding-ruling process.
HTS heading 8422 summary
Dishwashing machines is a 4-digit product category containing 3 published product-code lines in this snapshot. A heading does not carry one universal duty rate; classification must be narrowed to the line matching the product facts.
How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
