Immediate & Free Consultation1) Professional Introduction to Sewing Machines and Their Types
Domestic Sewing Machines: Specifically designed for home use and light, personal sewing. Due to their smaller size, easy operation, and affordable price, domestic machines are suitable for home use and small workshops. They usually handle thin to medium fabrics and are used for everyday tasks such as ordinary clothing, small repairs, and simple sewing.
Industrial Sewing Machines: Designed for mass production in the garment industry and large workshops. With higher motor power, greater stitching speed, and the ability to handle heavy and thick fabrics, they suit various materials including heavy fabrics like denim, leather, and heavy synthetics. They also include more specialized types such as straight-stitch, zigzag, and overlock machines.
Semi-Industrial Sewing Machines: A combination of domestic and industrial features, usually used in smaller workshops or for specialized sewing at lower volumes. Semi-industrial machines are more powerful and durable than domestic ones, but not as complex and powerful as industrial machines.
Specialized Sewing Machines: Designed for specific applications, such as leather-sewing machines, machines for stretchy or elastic fabrics, and machines for decorative stitches. These machines include special features and tools optimized for particular materials and projects.
2) Components and Parts of Sewing Machines
Sewing Needle: One of the most important and critical components in any machine. It performs the core stitching function, and different needles with various sizes and types are used depending on fabric and stitch.
Foot Pedal: Allows the user to control stitch speed by foot pressure. Present in both industrial and domestic machines, it is important for comfort and precise control.
Bobbin and Bobbin Case: Hold the lower thread and, together with the upper thread, create balanced and strong stitches. Proper quality and adjustment are essential for precise, trouble-free sewing.
Sewing Machine Motor: The main driving force that powers the machine’s moving parts. Industrial motors are usually more powerful and capable of sewing heavy fabrics at high speed.
Thread Tension Regulator: Helps adjust upper and lower thread tension so stitches form with proper balance. Incorrect tension can cause uneven stitches or thread breakage.
3) Key Points in Clearing Sewing Machines and Their Parts
Customs Tariff (HS Code): Sewing machines and their parts are classified under specific tariff codes known as HS Codes. The commonly used tariff code for sewing machines is 8452.10.00 (shown without dots as 84521000), but this can vary depending on machine type and application. Spare parts also have separate tariff codes that must be carefully identified and declared.
Import Permits: Depending on the type of machine and country of origin, specific permits may be required from relevant bodies such as the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade or the National Standards Organization. These permits ensure compliance with national and international standards.
Documents Required for Clearance: Preparing and submitting complete and accurate documentation is essential. Documents include purchase invoice, Certificate of Origin, Bill of Lading, Packing List, and other relevant papers. Incorrect or incomplete documents can delay clearance.
Taxes and Customs Duties: Importing sewing machines and their parts is subject to VAT and customs duties. These charges vary by machine type, parts, and origin, and must be calculated and paid accurately to avoid clearance issues.
