Waterjet cutting machines: These machines use high-pressure water mixed with abrasives to cut stone precisely and are suitable for cutting hard and thick stones.
Laser cutting machines: They use laser technology for cutting and are ideal for delicate stones and applications requiring high precision.
Diamond cutting machines: These machines operate with diamond blades, and due to the high resistance of diamond, they are used for cutting very hard and resistant stones.
CNC machines: These machines use computer programs for precise and automatic cutting and are especially used in mass production and complex cuts.
Stone polishing machines: These machines are designed to polish and improve the surface of stones and can turn stones into glossy and smooth surfaces. Polishing machines are usually used in the final stages of stone processing and are particularly suitable for applications such as floor coverings, interior and exterior walls, kitchen countertops, and bathrooms.
Mechanical polishing machines: These machines use abrasive wheels to polish stones and give them a glossy and uniform surface.
Chemical polishing machines: These machines use specific chemical compounds to increase the gloss and shine of stone surfaces, which requires compliance with safety principles and environmental standards during clearance.
2) Key Notes in Clearing Stone Cutting and Polishing Machines
Required documents for clearance: Clearing these machines requires submitting specific documents to customs. These documents include purchase invoice, certificate of origin, packing list, international standard certificates, and technical approvals related to the machines. If the imported machine has advanced technologies, additional documents such as environmental compliance certificates are also mandatory.
Special import requirements: Importing stone cutting and polishing machines to Iran, especially advanced machines, may require approvals from relevant organizations such as the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade. Also, due to the complex electronic components in some of these machines, more detailed inspections are performed at customs to confirm compliance with national and international standards.
| Machine/Device | Short Description | HS Code |
|---|---|---|
| Stone cutting machines | Waterjet/Laser/Diamond/CNC | 8464 |
| Stone polishing machines | Mechanical and chemical polishing | 8465 |
3) Exporter and Importer Countries of Stone Cutting and Polishing Machines
Environmental considerations and standards: Stone polishing machines, due to the use of chemical agents in the polishing process, require adherence to environmental standards. Therefore, importers must ensure compliance to avoid issues during clearance.
Major exporter countries: Stone cutting and polishing machines are mainly imported from countries like Italy, China, Germany, Japan, and Turkey, known for producing high-quality machines with advanced technology.
Export status from Iran: Exports of these machines from Iran are less common due to high production costs and advanced technology needs. However, if there is demand, neighboring countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and some Central Asian countries can be suitable markets.
4) Import/Export Volume and Standard Requirements
Environmental and standards considerations: One important point in clearing stone polishing machines is adherence to environmental standards. Because these machines use chemicals and abrasives in the polishing process, additional approvals from environmental organizations may be required.
