Centrifuges; cream separators
Heading 8421 — Centrifuges, including centrifugal dryers; filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for liquids or gases
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 842111 when importing or exporting centrifuges and cream separators, which are essential for separating liquids based on density. For example, this code applies to a shipment of a laboratory centrifuge used for medical testing.
This code specifically covers centrifuges designed for separating cream from milk, distinguishing it from HS-6 842119, which includes other types of centrifuges not specifically for cream separation. If you’re dealing with a centrifuge for industrial applications, you may need to consider that other line.
Centrifuges under this code can be used in various settings, including dairy processing plants, laboratories, and food production facilities. They are typically packaged in sturdy crates to prevent damage during transit.
When classifying your product, ensure that it meets the criteria of a centrifuge or cream separator, as other filtering or purifying machinery may fall under different HS codes.
