847490
Machines, for sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing etc mineral substances, for agglomerating, shaping or moulding solid fuels, ceramic pastes etc, for forming foundry moulds of sand; parts
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 847490 when importing or exporting machines designed for sorting, screening, or separating mineral substances. For instance, if you're shipping a machine that separates gravel from sand, this code applies.
This code specifically covers machinery that processes solid mineral fuels and ceramic pastes, distinguishing it from HS-6 847481, which focuses on machines for crushing or grinding only. If your equipment has multiple functions, ensure you classify it correctly.
The HS-6 847490 line includes parts for machines that agglomerate or shape solid materials, such as those used in foundries for creating sand moulds. If your shipment involves components for these processes, this is the right code.
When considering HS-6 847490, think about the end-use of your machinery. If it’s designed for washing or mixing mineral substances, it fits here, unlike HS-6 847491, which covers machines for specific agricultural applications.
