Questions about NCM 8505.20.10

What is NCM 8505.20.10?

NCM 8505.20.10 (85052010) is the Brazilian (Mercosur) code for eddy current brakes for vehicles. Its official Portuguese description is “Freios (travões) que atuam por corrente de Foucault, do tipo utilizado nos veículos das posições 87.01 a 87.05”.

What is the HS code for NCM 8505.20.10?

HS 8505.20 (Magnets; electro-magnetic couplings, clutches and brakes). The first 6 digits of an NCM code are its international HS code; the last 2 digits are Brazil's own split.

Is an NCM code the same as an HS code?

The first 6 digits are the same in every country. NCM adds an item digit (7th) and a subitem digit (8th). A code ending in 00 means Brazil does not split that HS code further.
