Product Overview The fuel filter classified under HS Code 842123 is a mechanical device designed to remove impurities and contaminants from liquid fuels, ensuring the purity and optimal performance of fuel systems across various industrial applications. Typically constructed from durable materials such as stainless steel or high-grade polymers, these filters feature precision-engineered filtration media with micron ratings ranging from 1 to 100 microns, depending on the application requirements. The product range under HS 842123 includes subcategories such as fuel oil filters, water separators for fuel systems, and multi-stage filtration units, each tailored to specific operational demands. Widely utilized in the transportation, manufacturing, and energy sectors, these filters play a critical role in maintaining engine efficiency, reducing wear, and preventing system downtime. Their robust design, coupled with compliance to international quality standards such as ISO 9001 and SAE J905, positions them as essential components in global supply chains, offering reliability and cost-effectiveness to importers and end-users alike. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications HS Code 842123 falls under Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; mechanical parts thereof, specifically within Heading 8421, which covers filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for liquids and gases. The full 6-digit code 842123 is designated for machinery used explicitly for filtering or purifying liquid fuels, reflecting its functional and structural attributes. This classification is justified by the product’s primary function of contaminant removal from hydrocarbon fuels to meet operational purity standards. Trade considerations emphasize secure packaging using corrosion-resistant materials and sealed containers to prevent contamination and degradation during transit. Preservation may involve desiccants or inert gas flushing for sensitive filtration media. Shipping typically adheres to international maritime and air freight regulations, with detailed documentation supporting customs clearance and compliance with WTO agreements. Quality assurance involves adherence to ASTM D975 and ISO 29463 standards, ensuring filtration efficiency and dimensional accuracy, thereby facilitating smooth import/export operations and regulatory conformity.
