Find product classification and trade information for CASSETTE FURNACE

Okay, let's break down the HS codes and tax implications for your "CASSETTE FURNACE" declaration. I'll provide a structured analysis to help you understand the classification and potential costs.

Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer

HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. The first two digits generally indicate the chapter, the first four digits the heading, and the first six digits the subheading. More digits can be added for further specificity.

• Tax:
  • Basic Duty: 3.9%
  • Additional Duty: 25.0%
  • Post April 2, 2025: Additional Duty increases to 30%
  • Total Tax: 58.9%
• Notes: This code is for non-electric industrial or laboratory furnaces. Ensure your furnace doesn't operate on electricity.

5 & 6. 6815.91.00.11 & 6815.91.00.71 – Articles of stone or of other mineral substances (including carbon fibers, articles of carbon fibers and articles of peat), not elsewhere specified or included: Other articles: Containing magnesite, magnesia in the form of periclase, dolomite including in the form of dolime, or chromite Containing by weight more than 70 percent magnesia, expressed as MgO, with carbon content ranging from trace amounts to less than 30 percent, and chemically bonded by resin or pitch / Other

Recommendations & Important Considerations:

• Material Composition: The most crucial factor is the primary material of your "CASSETTE FURNACE." Is it primarily steel, electric components, stone/mineral substances, or plastic?
• Function: Is it for laboratory use, industrial heating, or domestic cooking?
• Electricity: Does it operate on electricity?
• Detailed Specification: Provide a detailed specification sheet of your furnace, including all materials used and its intended purpose.
• April 2, 2025 Changes: Be aware of the upcoming changes in additional duties on April 2, 2025.
• Certification: Depending on the intended use and destination country, you may need specific certifications (e.g., safety standards, CE marking).
• Single vs. Multiple Components: If your furnace consists of multiple components made of different materials, you may need to classify each component separately.
• Consult a Customs Broker: I highly recommend consulting with a licensed customs broker in your destination country. They can provide definitive classification advice based on your specific product and import regulations.

To help me narrow down the most accurate HS code, please provide the following information:

• What is the primary material of the furnace?
• Is it electric or non-electric?
• What is its intended use (laboratory, industrial, domestic)?
• Can you share a product specification sheet?
