1) Introduction to Dairy-Processing Machinery and Milking Devices

Introduction to dairy-processing machinery and milking devices Dairy-processing machines cover a wide range of advanced industrial equipment used to produce and process dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and other related products. These include pasteurization machines, homogenizers, filling and packaging machines, refrigeration and storage equipment, and machinery for producing cheese and yogurt. Milking machines, used on dairy farms to collect milk from livestock, also play a vital role in the dairy production chain.

2) Applications of Dairy-Processing Machinery and Milking Machines

Dairy-processing machinery and industrial milking devices have a crucial and undeniable role in the dairy industry. These pieces of equipment directly affect the quality of final products, production process efficiency, and optimization of operating costs.
For example, homogenizers are key equipment in milk processing that convert raw milk into uniform, homogeneous products. By reducing fat globule size and distributing them evenly throughout the milk, these machines not only improve the texture and taste of final products like milk, yogurt, and other dairy items, but also prevent the formation of cream layers on product surfaces. Beyond quality improvement, homogenization also enhances the shelf life of dairy products. In the field of dairy farming and milk collection, industrial milking machines play an important role in improving efficiency and maintaining milk hygiene. With adjustable suction speed and pressure, these devices increase precision during milking while enabling high-quality milk collection with minimal contamination. As a result, the raw milk produced using such devices forms the foundation for high-quality, hygienic dairy products.

3) Key Notes in Clearing Dairy-Processing Machinery and Milking Devices

Clearing dairy-processing machinery and industrial milking equipment from customs requires strict and complete compliance with a set of technical and administrative notes, detailed as follows:

1. Technical Documents and Files

Providing comprehensive and accurate technical documentation is highly important for clearing these devices from customs. Such documents include technical catalogues, engineering drawings, standard certificates (such as ISO or CE), and quality approvals. These materials must be carefully prepared and aligned with the customs requirements of the destination country to prevent any delays or issues during clearance. In some cases, a Certificate of Conformity with Iranian national standards is required, issued by accredited international or domestic bodies.

2. Sanitary and Technical Permits

Importing dairy-processing machinery requires obtaining specific permits from competent authorities such as the Iranian National Standards Organization, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Veterinary Organization. These permits ensure the imported equipment complies with national and international standards and is sanitary and safe for use in food and dairy industries. Additionally, some devices may require performance tests or pre-import inspections conducted by relevant authorities.

3. Customs Tariff and HS Code

Accurate tariff determination and use of HS (Harmonized System) codes for dairy-processing machinery are crucial for managing import costs. For example, dairy-processing machinery is classified under HS 8434, covering various machines used in milk processing and dairy product manufacturing. Being aware of current tariffs and any changes in tariff regulations helps importers avoid unexpected cost increases and complete clearance at minimum expense. In some cases, negotiation for tariff reductions or use of exemptions may be possible for specific equipment.

4. Compliance with Standards and Climatic Needs

Imported machines must be compatible with Iran’s climatic conditions and sanitary standards. This compatibility may require technical adjustments and localization. For instance, some devices may need special insulation for temperature variations or settings related to voltage and electrical frequency to match Iran’s infrastructure. Close collaboration with manufacturers or local technical specialists helps ensure successful adaptation and optimal operation of imported equipment.

4) Sample HS Code Table for Dairy Machinery

Goods/Equipment HS Code Short Description
Dairy-processing machinery 8434 Pasteurizers, homogenizers, fillers, etc.
Industrial milking machines 8434 Milking systems and accessories

Exact subheading depends on model, capacity, application, and technical documents.

5) Import and Export Conditions for Dairy Machinery and Milking Machines

Import and export conditions for dairy-processing machinery and milking machines Import of these devices to Iran is mainly from developed industrial countries such as Germany, Italy, France, and China. Due to advanced technology in manufacturing industrial machinery, these countries are the primary sources for Iran’s market. On the other hand, exports from Iran go to neighboring countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Central Asian nations that are developing their dairy industries and require quality equipment.

6) Volume of Imports and Exports of These Devices to Iran

Given the high demand of Iran’s dairy industry for modern, efficient equipment, import volumes of dairy-processing machinery and milking devices are relatively high. Meanwhile, exports of such machines are increasing to neighboring and developing markets due to domestic production capabilities and competitive pricing.

7) Global Manufacturers and Importers

Global manufacturers and importers of dairy-processing machinery and milking machines Major producers include Germany, Italy, France, and China. Leveraging advanced technology and high technical expertise, these countries make high-quality, high-efficiency machines with strong global demand. Main importers are developing economies seeking to improve their industrial infrastructure.
