Code 8438 90 · Heading 8438

Parts for industrial food or beverage preparation machinery, not otherwise specified

This code covers parts for machinery used to prepare or make food or beverages industrially. It applies when the part is not covered by one of the specifically named machinery groups, such as bakery, sugar, brewery, meat, poultry, fruit, nut or vegetable machinery.

For example

  • Parts for industrial fish-processing machinery, because fish-processing machinery is not named by the other groups
  • Parts for industrial dairy-product processing machinery, because dairy-product processing machinery is not named by the other groups
