Customs Clearance of Laboratory Centrifuge Machines | HS Code 84211920; Standards, Permits, Import/Export and Clearance Documents

Customs Clearance of Laboratory Centrifuge Machines (HS Code + Documents and Permits)

Customs clearance of laboratory centrifuge machines Laboratory centrifuge machines are among the most advanced and vital equipment in modern scientific, medical, and research laboratories, used to separate components of liquid or semi-solid samples based on density differences. These devices, by using centrifugal force generated by the rapid rotation of the rotor, move heavier components to the outermost point and lighter components toward the center of the machine. This process results in distinct layers of separated materials, each of which can be used for various analyses.

1) Customs Tariff (HS Code) of Laboratory Centrifuge

HS Code (Customs Tariff): Laboratory centrifuge machines are classified under the Harmonized System Code 84211920. This code applies to devices used in separation processes based on density differences. Correct classification is critical in import documents, as mistakes can lead to problems and delays in customs clearance.

2) Applications and Importance of Laboratory Centrifuge Machines

Biotechnology Industry: In biotechnology, laboratory centrifuge machines are used to separate various cellular components including whole cells, organelles (such as mitochondria and nuclei), proteins, and nucleic acids. These processes are essential for drug research and development, vaccine production, and other biological products. A key application is in isolating and enriching stem cells for medical research and modern therapies.

Medical and Life Sciences: In medicine, centrifuges play a fundamental role in preparing biological samples. Plasma extraction from whole blood, serum separation, and preparation of samples for microscopic and biochemical analysis are only part of their use. Centrifuges are also vital in disease diagnosis and in preparing proper samples for molecular and genetic testing.

Food Industry: In food industries, centrifuges are used to separate fat from milk, purify and clarify oils, and even in producing raw materials like edible proteins. These devices accurately separate different components, thereby improving product quality. For example, they are essential in producing low-fat or fat-free dairy products.

Chemical Industry: In chemical industries, centrifuges are used to purify and separate components of solutions and suspensions. They remove impurities and deliver high-quality final products. In pharmaceuticals and sensitive chemicals, they are crucial for ensuring purity and consistency.

3) Key Points in Customs Clearance of Laboratory Centrifuges

Customs clearance of laboratory centrifuge machines requires accuracy and full awareness of related regulations. Below are the main considerations in their clearance process:

HS Code: Classified under HS Code 84211920 for devices used in density-based separation. Correct coding is crucial to avoid clearance delays.

Required Documents: For clearance, the following documents must be submitted:
Proforma Invoice: Technical specs, unit/total price, payment and delivery terms.
Commercial Invoice: Final agreed transaction details between buyer and seller.
Bill of Lading: Proof of shipment from origin to destination.
Packing List: Details of quantity, weight, and packaging type.
Certificate of Origin: Verifies product origin and helps determine tariffs.
International Standards Certificates: e.g., CE marking confirming compliance with EU safety and quality standards.
Technical Standards: Devices must comply with ISO and CE standards. Certificates like Calibration and Performance Test may also be required.
Relevant Permits: In Iran, imports need permits from bodies such as:
Ministry of Health: Authorizes devices used in healthcare sectors.
Food and Drug Organization: Oversees imports directly or indirectly linked to food and pharmaceuticals.

4) Import and Export Status of Laboratory Centrifuges

Laboratory centrifuges are mainly imported to Iran from advanced countries such as Germany, Japan, the USA, and South Korea due to their high technology and quality production. Imports are increasing annually, reaching millions of dollars, driven by Iran’s growing medical, pharmaceutical, and research industries. Iran has limited exports, though some locally made units are exported to neighboring countries like Iraq and Afghanistan.
