HS Code Classification for "MAGNETIC CHECKER"
Based on the provided reference data, here's a breakdown of potential HS code classifications for "MAGNETIC CHECKER", along with detailed explanations. Given the broad nature of the term, multiple codes may apply depending on the specific function and construction of the checker.
1. 8505907000 – Electromagnets; permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization; electromagnetic or permanent magnet chucks, clamps and similar holding devices; electromagnetic couplings, clutches and brakes; electromagnetic lifting heads; parts thereof: Other, including parts: Electromagnets of a kind used solely or principally for magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, other than apparatus of heading 9018
- 8505: Covers electromagnets and permanent magnets. This is the primary heading if the checker actively uses magnetic fields for its function (e.g., detecting flaws using magnetic induction).
- 850590: Specifically for parts and other electromagnets not elsewhere specified.
- 8505907000: Further specifies electromagnets used in MRI apparatus. If the checker is designed for use in medical imaging, this is the most accurate code.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30%. Total: 55.0%
2. 8505909000 – Electromagnets; permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization; electromagnetic or permanent magnet chucks, clamps and similar holding devices; electromagnetic couplings, clutches and brakes; electromagnetic lifting heads; parts thereof: Other
- 8505: As above, covers electromagnets and permanent magnets.
- 850590: Parts and other electromagnets not elsewhere specified.
- 8505909000: A broader "other" category within electromagnets. This applies if the checker uses electromagnets but isn't specifically for MRI or another defined application.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30%. Total: 55.0%
3. 8537000000 – Control apparatus; measuring instruments and meters not specified elsewhere in this chapter; parts thereof
- 8537: This heading covers a wide range of control and measuring instruments. If the "MAGNETIC CHECKER" is primarily a measuring device that uses magnetic fields to detect properties (e.g., metal composition, flaw detection), this code may be appropriate.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30%. Total: 55.0%
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Functionality is Key: The most accurate HS code depends on the primary function of the checker. Is it actively creating a magnetic field (electromagnet), or is it detecting magnetic properties (measuring instrument)?
- Material Composition: The materials used in the checker's construction can influence the classification.
- Intended Use: The specific application of the checker (e.g., industrial inspection, security, medical) is important.
- Technical Specifications: Provide detailed technical specifications (e.g., magnetic field strength, measurement range, accuracy) to customs officials.
- Certification: Depending on the intended use, specific certifications (e.g., CE marking for safety, calibration certificates for accuracy) may be required.
- Single vs. Multiple Functions: If the checker combines multiple functions (e.g., measuring and controlling), consult with a customs broker to determine the appropriate classification.
Disclaimer: This information is for general guidance only. The final HS code classification is determined by customs officials based on the specific details of the imported goods. It is recommended to consult with a qualified customs broker or seek an official binding ruling from the relevant customs authority.
Customer Reviews
