HS Code for Washing machine with dryer

Washing machines equipped with a built-in centrifugal dryer are classified under HS code 8450.12 when they meet specific technical criteria. Chapter 84 includes nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery, and mechanical appliances. Heading 8450 covers household or laundry-type washing machines, including those which both wash and dry. Subheading 8450.12 is specifically for machines with a dry linen capacity not exceeding 10 kg that are not fully automatic but include a centrifugal dryer. This often refers to twin-tub models where the washing and spinning functions may be separate or require manual intervention to move clothes between cycles. The classification depends heavily on the dry weight capacity and the level of automation. If the machine were fully automatic, meaning it performs the wash, rinse, and spin cycles without manual intervention, it would move to a different subheading. This code is essential for identifying semi-automatic laundry equipment used in residential or light commercial settings.

Products Included

Common Misclassification

This code is often confused with HS code 8450.11, which is for fully-automatic washing machines. It is also confused with HS code 8451.21, which covers separate clothes drying machines. If the machine exceeds 10kg capacity, it must be classified under 8450.20.
