SPOT WELDING - HS Code Classification & Duty Information

Based on the provided reference data, “SPOT WELDING” falls under the category of resistance welding machines. Here's a breakdown of potential HS codes and related information:

• 8515210000: Electric machines and apparatus for resistance welding of metal – This is the most direct match for spot welding machines.

  • 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.
  • 15: Electrical machines and apparatus for welding, soldering, brazing or cutting.
  • 21: Machines and apparatus for resistance welding of metal.
  • 00: Fully or partly automatic.
  • Duty: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%, Total: 55.0%.

• 8515800080: Other machines and apparatus – If the spot welding machine has functionalities beyond basic resistance welding (e.g., integrated cutting features, specialized controls), it might fall under this broader category.

  • 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.
  • 15: Electrical machines and apparatus for welding, soldering, brazing or cutting.
  • 80: Other machines and apparatus.
  • 00: Other.
  • Duty: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%, Total: 55.0%.

Important Considerations:

• Automation Level: The distinction between 8515210000 and 8515800080 often depends on the degree of automation. Fully or partly automatic machines are classified under 8515210000.
• Additional Functions: If the machine incorporates features like cutting, brazing, or specialized controls, 8515800080 might be more appropriate.
• Parts: If you are importing parts for a spot welding machine, the HS code will differ. Please provide specific details of the part for accurate classification.

Recommendation:

• Verify Machine Specifications: Carefully review the technical specifications of the spot welding machine to determine its automation level and any additional functionalities.
• Consult with a Licensed Customs Broker: For complex cases or to ensure accurate classification, it is highly recommended to consult with a licensed customs broker in the destination country.
• Material and Value: Please confirm the material composition and declared value of the goods, as these factors can influence duty calculations.
• Certifications: Depending on the destination country, specific certifications (e.g., safety standards) may be required for importing welding equipment.
