HS-6 · Subheading
851490
Furnaces, ovens and heating equipment; parts of the industrial or laboratory equipment of heading no. 8514
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 851490 when importing or exporting parts of industrial or laboratory heating equipment, such as components for electric furnaces and ovens. For instance, if you're shipping replacement parts for an induction furnace, this code applies.
This code specifically covers parts for electric furnaces and ovens that are used in industrial or laboratory settings. It differs from HS-6 851480, which pertains to complete heating equipment rather than parts.
When classifying items under this code, consider whether the product is a component designed for use with electric heating equipment. Items like control panels, heating elements, or thermocouples for furnaces would fall under this classification.
If you're dealing with heating equipment that operates by methods other than electric, such as gas or oil, you would need to look at different codes. This distinction is crucial for accurate customs declarations.
