HS Code for Beverage filter

A beverage filter is classified under HS Chapter 84, which covers "Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof." Within this chapter, heading 8421 specifically addresses centrifuges, including centrifugal dryers; filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for liquids or gases. Subheading 842122 is precisely designated for "Machinery and apparatus for filtering or purifying beverages other than water." This classification is appropriate as it identifies the primary function of the machinery (filtering or purifying) and its specific application (for beverages, explicitly excluding water). This distinction is crucial for accurate classification within the HS system.

Products Included

• Wine filtration systems
• Beer clarification equipment
• Juice purification machinery
• Milk processing filters (for purification)

Common Misclassification

A common misclassification for beverage filters is with filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for water, which falls under HS code 842121. The key distinction is the type of liquid being processed: 842121 is exclusively for water, while 842122 is for all other beverages. Another potential error is classifying it under general liquid filters not specified for beverages or water, or even gas filters (e.g., 842139), which is incorrect as beverage filters are specifically designed for liquid beverages.
