Machines; for sorting, screening, separating or washing earth, stone, ores or other mineral substances
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-6 847410 when importing or exporting machines designed for sorting, screening, or washing mineral substances such as ores and stones. For example, a machine that separates gravel from sand would fall under this code.
This code specifically applies to machinery that processes solid mineral fuels and other earth materials. If you have a machine that crushes or grinds minerals, you would need to look at HS-6 847420 instead, which covers crushing and grinding machinery.
The 847410 classification is for machines that perform functions like separating or washing, which are essential in mining and construction industries. These machines might be used to prepare materials for further processing or construction use.
When dealing with machinery that sorts or washes, ensure that your equipment is not misclassified under other headings, such as those for agricultural machinery or general industrial machines.
