HS Code 84286000: Teleferics, chair lifts, ski draglines; traction mechanisms for funiculars

Teleferics, chair lifts, ski draglines, and traction mechanisms for funiculars fall under HS Code 84286000. This code is used to classify and regulate the import and export of these specific products.

HS Code 84286000 covers various types of transportation systems used in mountainous areas and ski resorts. These systems provide convenient and efficient transportation for both recreational and commercial purposes.

The products included under this HS code are:

• Teleferics: Also known as cable cars or gondolas, these are aerial transportation systems that use cables to transport passengers or cargo between two points.
• Chair lifts: These are mechanical systems that consist of a series of chairs attached to a continuously moving cable. They are commonly used in ski resorts to transport skiers uphill.
• Ski draglines: Also known as T-bars or J-bars, these are simple ski lifts that use a cable with a T-shaped or J-shaped attachment. Skiers hold onto the bar and are pulled uphill.
• Traction mechanisms for funiculars: Funiculars are inclined railway systems that use cable traction to transport passengers or cargo up and down steep slopes. The traction mechanisms are the essential components of these systems.

When it comes to trade barriers and market openness, the MFN (Most Favored Nation) principle applies. This means that when a country lowers a trade barrier or opens up a market, it has to do so for the same goods or services from all its trading partners. Therefore, the bound or MFN duty rate for HS Code 84286000 is free, indicating that there are no specific tariffs or duties imposed on these products.

The quantity unit for HS Code 84286000 is number (NO), which means that the products are measured in individual units rather than weight or volume.

Special tariff preference programs may also apply to the import and export of products classified under HS Code 84286000. These programs provide certain benefits or advantages to eligible countries or regions. It is important for importers and exporters to be aware of these programs and their requirements.

HS Code 84286000 encompasses teleferics, chair lifts, ski draglines, and traction mechanisms for funiculars. These products play a crucial role in providing efficient transportation in mountainous areas and ski resorts. Understanding the HS code and its associated regulations is important for importers, exporters, and anyone involved in the international trade of these products.
