1) Types and Applications of Industrial or Laboratory Furnaces and Ovens

Industrial and laboratory furnaces and ovens are devices capable of producing high temperatures that are used for various thermal processes such as baking, melting, refining, and scientific experiments. These devices play a vital role in industries such as metallurgy, chemistry, ceramics, glass production, and even the food industry.

Types of industrial furnaces and ovens:

Electric furnaces: These furnaces use electric current and heating elements to create very high temperatures. Their main application is in laboratories, ceramic production, and metal heat treatment operations.
Gas furnaces: These furnaces use natural gas or other gases to produce heat. They are used in industries requiring precise control of temperature and energy, such as glassmaking and ceramics.
Induction furnaces: Induction furnaces generate heat using magnetic fields and are mainly used in metal melting processes and production of special alloys.
Industrial ovens: Industrial ovens are mostly used in the food industry, especially for baking bread and food products in high volumes.

2) Key Points in Clearing Furnaces and Ovens from Customs

1. Identification and Determination of the Appropriate Customs Tariff (HS Code)

The customs tariff (HS Code) is one of the most important determining factors in the customs clearance process. Correct selection of the HS Code not only determines the amount of import duties and related taxes on the goods, but also prevents legal and operational problems at customs. Industrial and laboratory furnaces and ovens, depending on their function and application, have different codes. For example:
Industrial electric furnaces used in various industries for heat treatment operations are identified with HS Code 8514.30.90.
Gas or induction furnaces also have their specific HS Codes that must be carefully selected based on the type of fuel and the technology used.
Incorrect selection of the HS Code can lead to increased customs costs, delays in clearance, and even return of the goods to the country of origin. Therefore, an accurate and precise understanding of the device type and its application, and consultation with customs experts to choose the appropriate tariff code, is essential.
Device Type Short Description HS Code
Industrial/Laboratory Electric Furnace Heat treatment, baking/melting; resistive/element-based 8514.30.90
Gas Furnace (fossil fuel) Thermal furnace with gas/diesel burner; industrial 8514/8417* (depending on design/application)
Induction Furnace/Metal Melting Induction heating; melting, casting, alloying 8514* (specialized subheading)
Industrial Food Baking Oven Baking bread/food at high capacity 8514* (based on type and capacity)

Determination of the exact subheading is based on capacity, fuel/heating type, application, control equipment, and device structure.

2. Compliance with National and International Standards

Importing thermal devices, especially industrial or laboratory furnaces and ovens, requires adherence to national and international standards. These standards include safety, health, and environmental requirements that ensure imported devices are used without safety and environmental hazards. Some crucial standards include:
Electrical safety standards: These standards apply to electric furnaces and ensure they do not pose electrical hazards to users.
Environmental standards: These standards assess the environmental impacts of devices, such as pollutant emissions or energy consumption.
Technical standards: Technical standards include requirements related to device performance and quality that ensure goods are imported with an acceptable quality level.
Imported devices must have valid certificates from national or international organizations, and non-compliance with these standards may lead to rejection of goods at customs and their return to the country of origin..

3. Obtaining Specific Import Permits

Some imported thermal devices require specific permits from relevant organizations. These permits vary depending on the device type and its application. For example:
Laboratory furnaces used in sensitive fields such as medical or chemical research require approvals from the Ministry of Health or the Atomic Energy Organization. These approvals ensure that the imported device complies with the specific standards and legal requirements of these fields. Large industrial furnaces used in production processes may require approvals from the Ministry of Industry or similar organizations. Failure to obtain these permits before importation can lead to seizure of goods at customs and additional costs.

4. Estimating Customs Costs and Taxes

Accurate calculation of customs costs and taxes related to importing furnaces and ovens is one of the critical stages in the clearance process. These costs include the following:
Customs duties: This cost is determined based on the customs tariff (HS Code) and varies depending on the device type and country of origin.
Value Added Tax (VAT): Usually calculated based on the value of imported goods and must be paid at the time of clearance.
Brokerage/clearance costs: These costs include the costs related to the clearance process at customs as well as costs related to domestic transportation and warehousing.
Awareness of all these costs and proper financial planning can prevent financial issues in later stages and facilitate the import process.

5. Preparing and Submitting the Required Documentation

For clearing industrial or laboratory furnaces and ovens from customs, preparing and submitting precise and complete documentation is of great importance. The required documents include the following:
Commercial Invoice: Must contain complete details of the goods, including price, quantity, and technical descriptions.
Bill of Lading: The transport document indicating ownership of the goods and the mode of transport.
Certificate of Origin: This document confirms that the goods were produced in a specified country and is often used to determine the customs tariff.
Packing List: Includes detailed information on the number of packages, weight, and their dimensions.
Standards and safety certificates: These certificates include approvals related to compliance with national and international standards.
Submitting these documents accurately and completely speeds up the clearance process and prevents legal issues and delays in delivery of the goods.

3) Major Exporting and Importing Countries

Exporting countries: China, Germany, the United States, Japan, and Italy are among the largest exporters of industrial furnaces and ovens in the world. Due to advanced technology and mass production, these countries offer a wide variety of high-quality products that are highly popular in global markets.
Importing countries: Iran, as one of the importers of these devices, mainly sources its needs through imports from China and Germany. These two countries, due to competitive prices and high quality, are considered the main suppliers of these equipment in the Iranian market.

4) Volume of Imports and Exports of Furnaces and Ovens to Iran

Imports of industrial furnaces and ovens to Iran have increased in recent years due to the development of industries and the need for advanced technologies. This increased demand has led to a significant rise in import volumes. Conversely, exports of these devices from Iran to neighboring and regional countries are also developing, but due to technological limitations, the export volume is less than imports.
