Sourcing this category from India
HS 8485.20 covers Machines for additive manufacturing; by plastic or rubber deposit. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. Machinery is one of India's largest engineering-export chapters — pumps, engines and industrial equipment ship worldwide. India exported $138K under this code worldwide in 2024, ranking #3 of 5 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).
How to read this code
8485.20 is the six-digit HS subheading for machines for additive manufacturing. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many machinery & electrical equipment lines — check our import guides for your market.
In India this same number is called the HSN code (848520): GST registration, invoices and e-way bills all classify goods by HSN, and the applicable GST rate is notified against the 4–8 digit HSN — so Indian suppliers will quote you HSN 848520 for goods under this heading.
