HS-6 · Subheading
841710
Furnaces and ovens; non-electric, for the roasting, melting or other heat-treatment of ores, pyrites or of metals, for industrial or laboratory use
Heading 8417 — Furnaces and ovens; industrial or laboratory, including incinerators, non-electric
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 841710 when importing or exporting non-electric furnaces and ovens designed for roasting, melting, or heat-treating ores and metals. For instance, if you're shipping a large industrial furnace used in a metal processing plant, this code is applicable.
This code specifically covers non-electric furnaces and ovens, which distinguishes it from HS-6 841720, which includes electric versions. If your equipment relies on electricity for operation, you should consider the latter code instead.
The 841710 line is focused on industrial and laboratory applications, meaning it’s suited for heavy-duty operations rather than smaller, domestic appliances. If you’re dealing with a laboratory furnace used for metal testing, this is the right classification.
When classifying your product, ensure it fits the criteria of being non-electric and primarily used for the heat treatment of metals or ores. This specificity helps avoid misclassification and potential customs issues.
