HS Code Classification for COFFEE SCALE
Here's a breakdown of potential HS codes for "COFFEE SCALE", considering various aspects of the product. It's crucial to examine the scale's specific features and intended use to determine the most accurate code.
Important Note: HS codes are determined by the composition, function, and use of the product. The following are possibilities; the final determination rests with customs authorities. Always provide detailed product specifications to your customs broker.
Here's a classification breakdown:
- 8423.10.00 - Weighing machinery (excluding balances of a sensitivity of 5 cg or less), for household or commercial use; scales for weighing persons.
- 84: Nuclear instruments and apparatus; measuring, checking, testing, navigating and control instruments and apparatus; meters and counters. (This chapter covers a broad range of instruments.)
- 23: Weighing machinery (excluding balances of a sensitivity of 5 cg or less).
- 10: Household or commercial use; scales for weighing persons.
-
Explanation: This is a strong candidate if the coffee scale is primarily used for weighing coffee beans or grounds for brewing, and is marketed for home or small business use. If the scale has a capacity exceeding typical household scales (e.g., > 50kg), this code may not be appropriate.
-
8423.30.00 - Other weighing machinery (excluding balances of a sensitivity of 5 cg or less).
- 84: Nuclear instruments and apparatus; measuring, checking, testing, navigating and control instruments and apparatus; meters and counters.
- 23: Weighing machinery (excluding balances of a sensitivity of 5 cg or less).
- 30: Other.
-
Explanation: If the coffee scale is a more specialized industrial or laboratory-grade scale, even if used for coffee, this code might be more suitable. This applies if it has features beyond basic weighing (e.g., high precision, data logging, connectivity).
-
9014.10.00 - Instruments and apparatus which measure or check electrical quantities.
- 90: Optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, testing, navigating and control instruments and apparatus; meters and counters.
- 14: Instruments and apparatus which measure or check electrical quantities.
- 10: Other.
-
Explanation: If the coffee scale primarily functions as a timer with a weighing component (e.g., a pour-over timer that also displays weight), and the weighing function is secondary, this code could apply. This is less common but possible.
-
8537.00.00 - Control panels, switchgear and control or distribution boards.
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
- 37: Control panels, switchgear and control or distribution boards.
- 00: Other.
-
Explanation: If the coffee scale has advanced digital controls, displays, and connectivity features that function as a control system for brewing processes (e.g., automated pour-over control), this code might be considered. This is less likely unless it's a very sophisticated device.
-
7326.00.00 - Articles of iron or steel, not elsewhere specified or included.
- 73: Articles of iron or steel.
- 26: Other.
- 00: Other.
- Explanation: If the scale is primarily constructed of iron or steel and lacks significant electronic components, this code could apply. This is unlikely for most modern coffee scales.
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: What is the scale made of? (Plastic, metal, glass, etc.)
- Precision: What is the scale's accuracy/resolution? (e.g., 0.1g, 1g)
- Features: Does it have a timer, Bluetooth connectivity, data logging, tare function, auto-off, etc.?
- Intended Use: Is it marketed for home use, commercial use (coffee shops), or laboratory/industrial use?
- Single vs. Combined Function: Is weighing the primary function, or is it part of a more complex system?
- Certification: Depending on the country of import, you may need certifications (e.g., CE marking for Europe, FCC for the US) to demonstrate compliance with safety and accuracy standards. Check import regulations for your destination country.
- Declare all components: If the scale includes accessories (e.g., power adapters, cables), these should be declared separately if they are not integrated into the main scale unit.
Next Steps:
Provide detailed product specifications (material, features, intended use, precision) to a customs broker or consult the official HS code database for your country of import. They can provide a definitive classification.
