What decides the code
A lawn sprinkler is a mechanical appliance for dispersing water, classified under heading 8424 as irrigation equipment for horticultural use.
- The sprinkler projects and disperses water mechanically, which places it in heading 8424 as a spraying appliance.
- It is used for lawn and garden watering, so it falls under the agricultural or horticultural irrigation equipment subheading 8424.82.
- An oscillating bar that moves back and forth to spread water fits the irrigation equipment line 8424.82.00.20.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a lawn sprinkler under 8424.41 or 8424.49 as a spray gun or similar hand appliance is wrong because those cover handheld sprayers, not ground irrigation equipment.
- Putting a lawn sprinkler in 8424.90 as a part is wrong because a complete sprinkler is a finished appliance, not a component.
- Classifying it under 8481 as a valve or tap is wrong because a sprinkler disperses water, it does not control flow through a pipe.
