HS-6 · Subheading
848060
Moulds; for mineral materials
Heading 8480 — Moulding boxes for metal foundry, moulding patterns, moulds for metals (excluding ingot moulds), metal carbides, glass, mineral materials, rubber or plastics
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 848060 when importing or exporting moulds specifically designed for mineral materials. These moulds are essential in industries like construction and ceramics, where precise shaping of materials is required. For instance, a shipment of moulds used to create concrete blocks would fall under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 848070, which covers moulds for plastics. While both codes deal with moulding processes, 848060 specifically targets moulds for materials like stone, sand, or glass, emphasizing their use in mineral-based applications.
Moulds classified under 848060 include those made of metal or other durable materials that shape mineral substances. Examples are moulds for casting ceramics or shaping glass products. Understanding the specific use of these moulds is crucial for correct classification.
If you're unsure whether your moulds fit this code, consider the material being shaped. Moulds for metals or plastics would not qualify under this HS-6. Instead, check the application and material to ensure proper classification.
