What types of machinery are included in HS-4 8474?

HS-4 8474 includes machines for sorting, crushing, mixing, and moulding solid mineral substances, such as concrete mixers and ore crushers.

How do I choose between the HS-6 subheadings?

Identify the primary function of your machinery. For example, use **847410** for sorting machines and **847420** for crushing machines.

Can I use HS-4 8474 for equipment that mixes minerals with other substances?

Yes, but ensure you select the correct HS-6 code based on the specific mixing function, such as **847432** for bitumen mixing.

What should I do if my machinery fits multiple HS-6 lines?

Choose the HS-6 code that best describes the primary function of your machinery. If it serves multiple purposes, consider **847490**.

Are there specific import regulations for HS-4 8474 machinery?

Yes, check with your local customs authority for any regulations or certifications required for importing machinery under this heading.

What are the common uses for machines classified under HS-4 8474?

These machines are commonly used in construction, mining, and manufacturing processes for handling solid mineral materials.

HS-4 · Heading

8474 — Machinery for sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing, grinding, mixing or kneading earth, stone, ores in solid form, shaping, moulding machinery for solid mineral fuels

Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 8474 when importing machinery designed for sorting, crushing, or mixing solid mineral substances. For example, if you're shipping a concrete mixer or a machine that separates ores, this heading is relevant.

When deciding between the HS-6 lines, consider the specific function of your machinery. For instance, 847410 is for machines that sort or wash minerals, while 847420 is specifically for crushing or grinding machines. Each line targets distinct processing needs.

If your equipment mixes materials, you have several options. 847431 is for concrete mixers, while 847432 is for machines mixing minerals with bitumen. If your machine doesn't fit these categories but still mixes mineral substances, look at 847439.

For machinery that shapes or moulds solid fuels or ceramics, 847480 applies. If your equipment serves multiple functions, such as sorting and crushing, consider 847490, which covers a broader range of machinery.
