1) Industrial Applications of Casting Machines

Production of Standard Metal Ingots: This machine is used to produce metal ingots with precise dimensions in compliance with global standards. These ingots are typically used as raw materials in subsequent production processes.

Improving Metal Quality: The casting machine can produce metals with very high purity and quality. Such metals are widely used in industries requiring high-quality raw materials, such as electronics, aerospace, and medical fields.

Production of Metals with Special Properties: The machine can produce metals with specific physical and mechanical properties used in manufacturing sensitive and durable parts for harsh environments such as oil, gas, and power plant industries.

2) Key Points in Casting Machine Customs Clearance

Key points in the clearance process of casting machines from customs:

3) Customs Tariff (HS Code)

Casting machines are classified under HS Code 8454.30. This tariff code covers machinery and equipment used in metal casting and molding processes. Accurate knowledge of this code is crucial as it helps in proper tariff calculation, taxes, and duties, as well as ensuring smoother customs clearance while avoiding declaration errors.

Detailed sub-codes depend on technology, capacity, automation, and application.

4) Essential Documents for Clearance

 Required Documents:
To clear casting machines from customs, a complete and accurate set of documents is mandatory. These include:
Commercial Invoice: A document presenting purchase/sale details such as price, delivery terms, and full machine specifications to customs.
Bill of Lading: Indicates the shipment of the machine from origin to destination and includes data like vessel/vehicle name, loading/unloading ports and shipment date.
Certificate of Origin: Confirms the country from which the machine is exported. In some cases it is required for preferential tariffs or trade agreements.
Standards Certificates: Show conformity of the machine with required national/international standards (safety, performance, environmental).
Special Permits: In some cases, the casting machine may need special permits (technology control, environmental requirements, or trade restrictions).
Proper preparation and submission of these documents prevents delays and facilitates entry of the machine into the country.

5) Compliance with National and International Standards

Imported casting machines must fully comply with national and international standards, including:
Safety Standards: The machine must meet national/international safety requirements to minimize operational hazards.
Environmental Standards: Compliance with emissions, energy consumption, and waste management standards is crucial.
Quality Standards: The machine must ensure that its outputs meet required quality and all technical specifications.
Verification by competent authorities is a critical step and may require Conformity Certificates or Conformity Assessment.

6) Technical Inspection of the Machine

Customs may conduct a technical inspection of the casting machine to ensure its technical specs match the declaration, including:
Performance Testing: Assessing proper operation per declared technical specifications.
Technical Parameters Measurement: Checking dimensions, weight, power, and other parameters.
Technical Documentation Review: Customs may review drawings, operating manuals, and maintenance guides.
These inspections ensure accurate imports and may require presence of technical experts or manufacturer reps for specific tests.

7) Import and Export Conditions for Casting Machines

Import to Iran: Main exporters of casting machines to Iran include China, Germany, Japan, and Italy key suppliers thanks to advanced technology and long manufacturing experience. Export from Iran: Iran does not play a major role in direct production of casting machines and is primarily an importer. However, certain parts and related equipment may be exported to neighboring countries.

8) Import and Export Volumes of Casting Machines

Imports to Iran: Import volumes depend on the needs of domestic metallurgy and metal industries. In recent years driven by industrial projects and increased metal production imports have been on the rise. Exports from Iran: Due to limited production of these machines, direct exports are very limited and domestic buyers rely largely on foreign markets to meet their needs.

9) Global Market Status of Casting Machines

Global Turnover: Owing to broad demand in metallurgy, metals, and automotive, the global market has significant turnover. It is largely led by industrial nations such as Germany, Japan, and China frontline manufacturers in this field.

Major Exporters: Germany, Japan, China, and Italy dominate exports, leveraging advanced technology and skilled labor to deliver high-quality, efficient equipment.

Major Importers: Developing and industrial countries such as India, the United States, Turkey, and several Middle Eastern countries are among the largest importers due to expanding metallurgy and metal industries.
