Customs Classification & Duty Analysis for "DISTILLER" & Related Items
This document provides a breakdown of the customs classification and duty rates for the items you've declared, focusing on "DISTILLER" and associated vacuum flasks/vessels. We will analyze each HS code individually, providing clarity on categorization and potential tax implications.
Important Note: Duty rates are subject to change. The information below is current as of today, but it's crucial to verify with the latest customs regulations before import/export. The 2025.4.2 date refers to potential tariff changes taking effect after that date.
1. HS Code: 8419.40.00.40 – Distilling or Rectifying Plant for Food & Beverages
- Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof. This chapter covers a wide range of industrial machinery.
- 8419: Machinery, plant or laboratory equipment for the treatment of materials by a process involving a change of temperature. This narrows down the focus to equipment that alters material properties through heat or cooling.
- 8419.40: Specifically for machinery for distilling, rectifying, or similar processes.
- 8419.40.00.40: This is a further specification for distilling or rectifying plant specifically designed for food and beverage production.

Key Considerations:
- Functionality: Ensure the distiller is genuinely designed for food/beverage processing. Industrial distillers used for other purposes might fall under a different HS code.
- Material & Valuation: Accurate declaration of material composition and the declared value (single price) is critical for duty assessment.
- Certification: Depending on the specific application (e.g., alcohol production), you may need to provide relevant certifications (e.g., food safety, quality control).
