1) Forging Machinery

Forging machinery refers to a category of industrial equipment designed to shape and process metals without altering their mechanical properties. These machines include sheet cutting machines, punching machines, and rebar cutting machines, each with a specific function in the production process.

Sheet Cutting Machines

Applications: These machines are used to cut metal sheets into various dimensions and shapes. They play a key role in automotive industries, steel structures, and production of light and heavy metal products. Sheet cutters are usually offered in mechanical and hydraulic types: the mechanical for faster, less precise cuts, and the hydraulic for accurate cuts on thicker sheets.

Punching Machines

Applications: Punching machines are used for making holes and shaping metal sheets. They are widely used in manufacturing car bodies, electrical panels, and automotive parts. Punching machines can also come in CNC models, ensuring greater speed and precision in production.

Rebar Cutting Machines

Applications: Rebar cutting machines are used to cut rebars to desired lengths in construction projects. They are essential in concrete and steel structures and require high accuracy and power to cut rebars of different diameters.

2) Key Steps and Notes for Forging Machinery Clearance

Clearance of forging machinery from customs is a complex process requiring accuracy and awareness of technical and legal details. These include sheet cutting, punching, and rebar cutting machines used across automotive, construction, and metal industries.

1. Selection of HS Code
HS Code (Harmonized System Code) is one of the most essential steps in clearance. It is an international standard for classifying goods and determining duties and tariffs. Each machine has its specific HS Code depending on type and function.

Sheet cutting and punching machines: These usually fall under HS Code 8462.29, covering shaping and cutting of metals without complex mechanical operations.

Rebar cutting machines: These are generally under HS Code 8462.99, used for machines specifically designed for cutting rebars and similar materials.

Incorrect HS Code selection can cause serious problems, including unexpected duty increases or seizure of goods.

2. Preparation and Submission of Required Documents
Accurate documents are vital, including:
Commercial Invoice: Full details of purchase, price, technical specs, and delivery conditions.
Certificate of Origin: Issued by the Chamber of Commerce of the origin country, impacting tariffs and trade agreements.
Packing List: Provides packaging details, used in physical inspections.
Technical Certificates: Includes CE and ISO standards proving compliance with international safety and quality requirements.

3. Compliance with Standards
Machines must comply with Iranian and international safety/quality standards.
CE Standard: Mandatory for European imports.
ISO Standard: Ensures global conformity in quality and management.

4. Calculation of Duties and Taxes
Duties are calculated based on CIF value (Cost + Insurance + Freight).
VAT: Value Added Tax is also applied.
All duties must be fully paid before clearance.

5. Customs Inspection and Approval
Customs experts verify compliance of machine specs with documents. Physical checks may be done. Final approval means delivery to importer.
Goods Short Description HS Code
Sheet cutting and punching machines Metal sheet forming/cutting; mechanical/hydraulic/CNC 8462.29
Rebar cutting machines Cutting rebars of different diameters for steel/concrete structures 8462.99

Final classification depends on power, mechanism, automation (CNC), accessories, and manufacturer details.

3) Import and Export Conditions of Forging Machinery

Import of forging machinery to Iran mainly comes from China, Germany, Italy, and South Korea, due to their advanced technology and high-quality production. Imports are rising annually due to growing industrial demand. Meanwhile, exports of forging machinery from Iran to neighboring countries are increasing, though still less than imports.
