HS-6 · Subheading
851432
Furnaces and ovens; electric, for industrial or laboratory use, other than those functioning by induction, dielectric loss or resistance heated, plasma and vacuum arc furnaces
Heading 8514 — Industrial or laboratory electric furnaces and ovens (including those functioning by induction or dielectric loss); other industrial or laboratory equipment for the heat treatment of materials by induction or dielectric loss
Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 851432 when importing or exporting electric furnaces and ovens designed for industrial or laboratory use, excluding those that operate by induction or dielectric loss. For example, if you are shipping a batch of electric melting furnaces used in metal processing, this code applies.
This code specifically covers electric furnaces and ovens that do not utilize induction heating methods. If you're dealing with resistance-heated furnaces, you would need to look at different codes, such as HS-6 851431 for those functioning by resistance heating.
When classifying your products, note that HS-6 851432 includes equipment like electric kilns and laboratory ovens that heat materials through direct electrical resistance. These are commonly used in ceramics and materials testing.
If you're unsure whether your equipment falls under this code, consider its heating method and intended use. Products like electric muffle furnaces or laboratory drying ovens would fit here, while induction furnaces would not.

Questions & answers
For orientation only—the binding text is your national tariff and the WCO nomenclature your country uses.
- What types of furnaces are classified under HS 851432?
- HS 851432 covers electric furnaces and ovens for industrial or laboratory use that do not operate by induction or dielectric loss. This includes electric muffle furnaces, kilns, and drying ovens.
- Can I use HS 851432 for induction furnaces?
- No, induction furnaces are classified under a different code, specifically HS 851431. HS 851432 is for electric furnaces that use resistance heating.
- What is the difference between HS 851431 and HS 851432?
- HS 851431 is for furnaces that function by induction heating, while HS 851432 is for those that use electric resistance heating. Make sure to classify your equipment based on the heating method.
- Are laboratory ovens included in HS 851432?
- Yes, laboratory ovens that use electric resistance heating are included under HS 851432. Ensure they do not operate by induction or dielectric loss.
- What should I include in my shipping documents for HS 851432?
- Include a detailed description of the equipment, its intended use, and the heating method. This helps ensure proper classification and compliance with customs regulations.
- Can I classify electric kilns under HS 851432?
- Yes, electric kilns used for ceramics or other materials that utilize electric resistance heating fall under HS 851432.
- How do I determine the right HS code for my furnace?
- Identify the heating method and intended use of your furnace. If it uses electric resistance heating and is for industrial or laboratory use, HS 851432 is likely the correct code.
- What are some examples of products that fall under HS 851432?
- Examples include electric muffle furnaces, industrial kilns, drying ovens, and laboratory furnaces used for heat treatment or material testing.
