Electrical and Electronics Industries:
Fuses play a key role in protecting sensitive electronic and electrical circuits. These components prevent damage caused by unwanted currents and, by creating a safe breaking point, prevent failures and repair costs. Fuses also protect advanced equipment such as power supplies, UPS systems, and communication equipment.
Automotive Industry:
In vehicles, electrical fuses act as the first and most important line of defense against short circuits and overcurrents. These components protect vital automotive parts such as the engine control unit (ECU), safety systems, and auxiliary electrical equipment, ensuring overall vehicle safety.
Household Appliances:
Electrical fuses in household devices such as refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioning systems, and televisions are used to prevent fires and damage to devices. These fuses cut off current in dangerous situations to prevent irreparable damage to household equipment.
Telecommunications Industry:
In telecommunications equipment, electrical fuses are used to protect sensitive circuits against power fluctuations and excess currents. These components prevent failures in telecommunications equipment that could lead to service outages and heavy losses.
Energy Production and Distribution Industries:
Industrial fuses are used in power plants and energy production and distribution systems to protect expensive and high-value equipment. These fuses ensure that massive and complex equipment is protected against unauthorized currents and short circuits, preventing potential and costly production and distribution downtime.
2) Specialized Notes in the Customs Clearance Process of Electrical Fuses
Customs Tariff (HS Code):
Electrical fuses are classified under tariff code 85361000. This tariff code relates to “Electrical Fuses” and may have slight variations depending on the type and specific characteristics of the fuses. Selecting the correct tariff code is highly important because customs tariffs directly affect import costs. Incorrect selection can lead to additional costs and delays in clearance.
Required Documentation for Clearance:
Commercial Invoice: The commercial invoice must include precise details such as the type, quantity, unit price, and total price of the fuses. This invoice is one of the main documents for calculating customs value and determining customs tariffs.
Packing List: This list must provide accurate information about packaging, the number of units in each package, and the net and gross weight of each package. A correct and accurate packing list can facilitate inspection and clearance.
Certificate of Origin: This certificate indicates the producing country of the fuses and may have a direct impact on customs tariffs and trade facilitation. The certificate of origin becomes even more important when preferential trade or special trade agreements exist between Iran and the exporting country.
Certificate of Conformity: This certificate ensures that imported fuses comply with national and international standards. The certificate is usually issued by accredited testing and certification bodies and indicates that the goods meet all required technical and safety requirements.
Standards and Legal Requirements:
National and International Standards: Imported fuses must conform to national standards such as those of the Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of Iran (ISIRI) and international standards such as IEC and UL. These standards define precise criteria for performance, safety, and durability, and compliance with them is mandatory for legal importation.
Quality Tests: Due to the high sensitivity of fuses in various applications, the quality of these components must be approved by accredited bodies through precise technical and performance tests. These tests include voltage, current, temperature, and different environmental conditions to ensure safe and correct performance of fuses under real-world conditions.
3) Producing Countries, Importers, and Market Status
Leading countries in the production of electrical fuses include Germany, Japan, China, South Korea, and the United States. Due to advanced technology and high-quality manufacturing, these countries supply the global market for electrical fuses. Owing to their high production standards, these fuses are used in many sensitive and complex industries.
Industrial countries such as Germany, Japan, China, South Korea, and the United States are among the main producers of electrical fuses. By leveraging advanced technologies, these countries supply a major portion of global demand for fuses. Importing countries: Iran imports a significant portion of its required fuses from countries such as China, Turkey, South Korea, Germany, and Italy.
Some fuses produced in Iran are exported to neighboring and regional countries, including Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Persian Gulf states. Volume of imports and exports: The volume of fuse imports into Iran varies depending on the needs of different industries. Imports of fuses amount annually to several million dollars. Exports of these components have also been on an upward trend due to the development of domestic industries and quality improvements.
4) Customs Tariff Code (HS) and Classification
| Goods | Short description | HS Code |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical fuses (domestic/automotive/industrial) | Circuit protection against overcurrent and short circuit | 85361000 |
Precise subheading determination depends on fuse type (fast/slow-blow), rated voltage/current, and application.
