The tariff classification for a ball mill depends on its specific characteristics, such as its intended use, size, and whether it’s part of a larger system. Below is a general guideline based on the Harmonized System (HS) used for customs classification:
Possible HS Codes for Ball Mills:
1. 8474.20.00 – Machinery for sorting, screening, separating, or grinding solid materials (includes ball mills used in mineral processing or similar industries).
– *Typical duty rate:* Varies by country (e.g., 0–5% in many jurisdictions).
2. 8474.90.00 – Parts of machinery under HS 8474 (if importing spare parts or components).
3. 7325.91.00 / 7325.99.00 – If the mill includes grinding media (steel balls), these may fall under “other cast articles of iron or steel.”
4. 8419.89.00 – If the ball mill is part of a chemical processing system (e.g., for mixing/reacting).
Key Considerations:
– Material Processed: Mineral ores, chemicals, or other materials may affect classification.
– Function: Standalone grinding vs. integrated into a production line.
– Country-Specific Rules: Some coun
es have additional subcategories or exemptions.
Where to Verify:
– Consult your country’s customs authority (e.g., U.S. HTSA, EU TARIC, India’s Customs Tariff).
– Provide detailed specifications to a customs broker for precise classification.
