HS Code for Roasting oven

Industrial roasting ovens used for the treatment of ores, pyrites, or metals are classified under HS code 8417.10. This classification is governed by the nature of the material being processed and the source of heat. Heading 8417 is specifically for non-electric industrial or laboratory furnaces and ovens. To fall under 8417.10, the oven must be designed for metallurgical processes, such as the roasting of sulfide ores to remove sulfur or the heat treatment of metal components to alter their physical properties. These ovens typically utilize gas, oil, or solid fuel to generate the high temperatures required for chemical or physical transformation. The classification follows GRI 1 and 6, as the product is a non-electric furnace used for the specific purpose of roasting ores or metals. It is important to note that the mechanical structure, such as a rotary kiln or a stationary hearth, does not change the classification as long as the primary function remains the heat treatment of minerals or metals.

Products Included

• Industrial ore roasting furnaces
• Pyrites roasting ovens
• Non-electric metal annealing furnaces
• Rotary kilns for metallurgical roasting
• Sintering furnaces for metal ores

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 8514.10, which covers electric industrial furnaces. If the roasting oven uses electrical resistance or induction heating, it must be moved to Chapter 85. Another common error is using HS code 8419.81 or 8419.89, which covers machinery for the treatment of materials by a process involving a change of temperature. However, heading 8417 is more specific for ovens and furnaces, and according to the rules of specificity, 8417 takes precedence over 8419.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Roasting oven?

The HS code for a non-electric industrial roasting oven for ores or metals is 8417.10.

Can this code be used for industrial coffee roasters?

No, industrial coffee roasters are generally classified under HS code 8419.81 as they are machinery for the preparation of food or drink involving temperature change.
