2) Steps to Clear Hydraulic Press Machines from Customs
The first and most important step in clearing hydraulic press machines is accurately identifying the machine type. This involves a thorough review of the machine’s technical specifications, including pressure capacity (Tonnage), intended industrial application (such as forming, punching, or molding), and control systems (e.g., PLC systems or digital controls). At this stage, the machine’s details must be matched with the import documents to avoid any errors in classification and tariff calculation. This matching can include checking the machine’s serial number, model, and manufacturer as recorded on the technical specification sheets and accompanying documents.
2. Determining the customs tariff and HS Code
Hydraulic press machines are generally classified under the tariff code (HS Code) 846291. This code relates to machines used for pressing, forming, or molding materials. The HS Code determines the applicable customs costs and import requirements. Choosing the correct tariff code is critical, as mistakes here can lead to miscalculated duties or even heavy penalties. Care must be taken to assign the machine to the correct code, as some presses may be classified differently based on their specific functions.
3. Providing the required documents
One of the most sensitive stages in clearing hydraulic presses is submitting complete and accurate documentation. These include several key documents, each playing an important role in facilitating the clearance process:
Commercial Invoice: This document must include precise details of the price, terms of sale, and technical specifications of the machine.
Bill of Lading: This must show the shipment route, carrier information, and shipping conditions.
Insurance Certificate: This must provide adequate coverage for the machine during transportation.
Certificate of Origin: This certificate must confirm that the machine was produced in a country authorized to export to Iran and may qualify for tariff preferences.
Certificates related to quality standards: These certificates must show that the machine complies with the required international and national standards.
Any deficiency or discrepancy in these documents can result in delays, additional costs, or legal complications in the clearance process.
4. Determining customs value
The customs valuation of hydraulic press machines must be calculated carefully and in accordance with customs regulations. This value includes the purchase price, freight, insurance, and other import-related costs. Accurate valuation is crucial because it directly affects the amount of customs duties and import taxes. At this stage, you may need to provide evidence supporting the declared costs, such as transportation contracts or invoices paid to the seller.
5. Compliance with standards
Hydraulic press machines must comply with internationally recognized standards such as ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and CE (Conformité Européenne). Compliance is essential to ensure safety, efficiency, and product quality. In Iran, imported machines must also comply with national standards and obtain the necessary certificates from competent bodies such as the Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of Iran. These certificates may involve specific tests to confirm quality and safety, conducted by accredited organizations.

Exports of hydraulic press machines from Iran: Although domestic production is limited, some Iranian products are exported to neighboring countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Exporting these machines requires adherence to international standards and obtaining the necessary permits from the relevant authorities.
Volume of imports and exports of hydraulic presses
In recent years, imports of hydraulic press machines into Iran have been on the rise, with several thousand units imported annually. This import volume reflects the high demand of domestic industries for such equipment. Exports from Iran are limited and largely directed to countries in the region.
Major exporting and importing countries
Major global exporters: Germany, Japan, China, and Italy are the largest exporters of hydraulic press machines worldwide. Leveraging advanced technology and extensive experience, these countries hold a significant share of the global market.
Major global importers: Industrial countries such as the United States, India, Brazil, and Russia are among the largest importers of hydraulic presses. Due to the substantial needs of their domestic industries, these countries account for a large portion of global imports of this equipment.
