The first 6 digits are the international HS code, so their meaning is the same in every country; Brazil publishes the text in Portuguese. Digits 7 and 8 are Brazil's own split of that HS code. The full 8-digit code is used on import declarations (DUIMP), invoices (NF-e) and tax filings.

Questions about NCM 8533.21.20

What is NCM 8533.21.20?

NCM 8533.21.20 (85332120) is the Brazilian (Mercosur) code for sMD fixed resistors, up to 20 W. Its official Portuguese description is “Próprias para montagem em superfície (SMD - Surface Mounted Device)”.

What is the HS code for NCM 8533.21.20?

HS 8533.21 (Electrical resistors; fixed, for a power handling capacity not exceeding 20W (including rheostats and potentiometers but excluding heating resistors and carbon resistors)). 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.

Which countries use NCM 8533.21.20?

All Mercosur members use the same NCM codes: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.
