847930
Machinery and mechanical appliances; presses for the manufacture of particle or fibre building board of wood or other ligneous materials and other machinery for treating wood or cork
Heading 8479 — Machinery and mechanical appliances; having individual functions, n.e.c. in this chapter
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 847930 when importing or exporting machinery designed specifically for pressing wood or other ligneous materials. For example, a shipment of a hydraulic press used to manufacture particle board falls under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 847931, which covers presses for other materials. If your equipment is solely for wood or cork processing, 847930 is the correct classification.
The 847930 line includes machinery that treats wood or cork, such as presses that compress wood fibers into boards. These machines are essential in the production of engineered wood products.
When considering machinery under this heading, remember that it also encompasses other specialized machines for wood treatment, not just presses. Ensure your equipment aligns with the specific functions outlined in this code.
