Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 842010 when importing or exporting calendering machines designed specifically for materials other than metal or glass. An example is a rubber calendering machine used in manufacturing tires.

This code applies to machines that shape or process materials like rubber, plastics, or paper through rolling or calendering. It differs from HS-6 842020, which covers machines specifically designed for glass or metal.

The 842010 subheading includes machines that can handle various non-metallic materials, making them essential in industries such as textiles and plastics. In contrast, machines under 842020 are tailored for heavier applications involving metals or glass.

When classifying your equipment, consider whether your calendering machine is intended for rubber or synthetic materials. If it’s for metal or glass, you’ll need to look at different codes.
