HS code 8479.89 · Chapter 84

Machines with individual functions, n.e.s.

Machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified elsewhere.

Current duty on this code

Base most-favoured-nation duty, pulled from the official tariff schedule when the destination publishes one. It does not include country-specific additional tariffs — for a US import those (Section 301, the 2025 reciprocal measures) can dwarf the base rate, and Kustaro shows them separately on a real classification.
