Section XVI — Machinery and mechanical appliances; electrical equipment; parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles

About HS Code 847710

This HS code covers injection-molding machines, which are fundamental to the manufacturing of products from rubber or plastics. These machines operate by injecting molten material into a mold cavity, where it cools and solidifies into the desired shape. They are indispensable across a vast array of industries, producing everything from automotive components, consumer electronics casings, and medical devices to household goods and packaging. International trade in injection molding machines is robust, driven by global industrial demand for plastic and rubber parts. Importers are typically manufacturing companies across various sectors seeking to establish or expand their production capabilities. Exporters are often countries with advanced industrial machinery production, known for precision engineering and automation. Key trade considerations include machine tonnage, shot size, energy efficiency, and automation features.

Products Under This Code

Horizontal injection molding machines, vertical injection molding machines, all-electric injection molding machines, hydraulic injection molding machines, two-platen injection molding machines, multi-component injection molding machines, micro injection molding machines

Real World Examples

Engel injection molding machines, Arburg Allrounder series, KraussMaffei CX/GX series, Sumitomo (SHI) Demag IntElect series, Husky Injection Molding Systems HyPET series, Milacron Ferromatik machines

Common Misclassification

Can be confused with other plastics processing machinery like extruders (847720) or blow molding machines (847730); the key is the 'injection' process into a mold.
