Customs Clearance of Vibratory Polishing Machine in Iran (HS Code + Documents & Permits)

Customs clearance of vibratory polishing machines: a vibratory polisher is one of the most important industrial pieces of equipment in the process of finishing and cleaning various parts. This machine, by using mechanical vibrations and applying abrasive media or specific mixtures of materials, polishes and smooths surfaces. Vibratory polishers are used in industries that require high-precision surface finishing and a smooth, glossy surface such as automotive, aerospace, precision tool manufacturing, production of electronic components, and medical equipment. Depending on the application, vibratory polishing machines are offered in diverse models and sizes: from small, portable models used for finishing small and delicate parts to large industrial models capable of processing bulky and heavy components. Depending on the type and material of the parts, different abrasive media such as ceramic, plastic, glass, and soft metals are used—each with its own advantages. In addition, some models feature adjustable vibration frequency and abrasion intensity, which helps improve the accuracy and quality of the process.

1) Importance of Choosing the Correct Customs Tariff Code (HS Code)

One of the critical stages in importing a vibratory polishing machine is the precise selection of the customs tariff code (HS Code). Each industrial device, based on its function and technical specifications, has a specific tariff code that is used to calculate customs and tax costs and determine its import conditions. Vibratory polishing machines are classified under tariff code 84604090, which is dedicated to surface finishing and polishing machines.

2) Required Standards and Specific Conditions for Importing Vibratory Polishers

Due to their significant impact on final surface quality, vibratory polishing machines must comply with national and international standards. The importer must ensure that the imported machine holds all required certifications from credible international bodies such as ISO and/or CE. These certificates indicate safety and quality, and in some cases, machines lacking such certifications may be subject to customs restrictions and be denied entry into the country.
Among the most important standards for importing vibratory polishers are the following:
Electrical and mechanical safety standards: The machine must comply with regulations related to electrical safety and mechanical vibrations.
Energy efficiency standards: In some countries, imported machines must meet energy-saving standards.

3) Exporting Countries and Conditions for Vibratory Polishers

Vibratory polishing machines are mainly imported into Iran from advanced industrial countries such as Germany, China, Italy, Japan, and South Korea. By leveraging advanced technology and producing high-quality equipment, these countries lead global markets. Machines produced in these countries are typically favored worldwide due to efficient design, high durability, and energy efficiency. Imports of vibratory polishers into Iran have also increased significantly in recent years due to the rapid growth of the automotive industry and the production of industrial parts. Owing to the need to improve surface quality and compete in international markets, Iranian industries have become reliant on importing advanced equipment like vibratory polishers. This demand for high-quality machines has turned imports from these countries into one of the industrial priorities of the country.

4) Major Importer and Exporter Countries Worldwide

In the global market, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, and South Korea are known as the main exporters of vibratory polishing machines. Using state-of-the-art technologies and innovative designs, these countries manufacture equipment used across many advanced industries. On the other hand, developing countries and emerging markets such as India, Brazil, Turkey, and Iran are major importers. Due to industrial growth and the need to upgrade production infrastructure, these countries have turned to importing these machines. In the global market, the turnover of vibratory polishing machines reaches billions of dollars annually due to the high demand from industries for precise, high-quality finishing.

5) Import/Export Volume of Vibratory Polishers in Iran

Imports of vibratory polishing machines into Iran are increasing due to the development and expansion of manufacturing industries—especially in automotive, mechanical parts manufacturing, and medical equipment. Every year, a considerable volume of these machines is imported into Iran, particularly from China, Germany, and Italy. According to the latest statistics, the import volume of vibratory polishers into Iran amounts to tens of millions of dollars annually. While exports of such machines from Iran are limited, some domestic companies active in the production and assembly of industrial equipment export their products to neighboring and regional countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and Central Asian countries.

6) Required Documents for Customs Clearance of Vibratory Polishers

Customs clearance of a vibratory polishing machine is a specialized process that requires a complete and accurate set of documents. These papers are not only essential for assessing the value and specifications of the machine but also for ensuring compliance with national and international standards and obtaining necessary permits. 
Commercial Invoice
The commercial invoice is one of the fundamental documents in the clearance process and includes information such as the price of the machine, full specifications, payment terms, and the seller’s and buyer’s names and addresses. This document helps customs calculate the value of the goods and the payable duties. Providing accurate and correct information is crucial, as any discrepancy may lead to delays in clearance.

Packing List
The packing list provides complete details of the package contents. It includes the number of items, net and gross weight, package dimensions, and packing method. Customs uses this document to inspect the goods and verify consistency with the import declaration.

Certificate of Origin
Issued by the chamber of commerce of the exporting country, this certificate indicates the country of origin. It helps customs determine the source country and apply import tariffs and trade preferences accordingly.

Import Declaration
The import declaration is prepared by the importer and contains all information about the goods, including the customs tariff code (HS Code), value, weight, and quantity. This is one of the core documents in the customs assessment process and must be completed accurately.

Bill of Lading or Air Waybill
This transport document is issued by the carrier and includes details such as mode of transport, origin and destination, and information about the shipper and consignee. It is necessary to prove shipment and track the goods.

Import Permits
Some industrial machines like vibratory polishers may require specific permits from various organizations. These include, for example, the national standards permit, permits from the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade, and other import-related authorizations for industrial machinery. Such permits ensure the quality and safety of the imported machine.

Inspection Certificate
In some cases—particularly for complex industrial machinery—technical inspection by reputable companies such as SGS or Bureau Veritas is required. The inspection certificate confirms the machine has been delivered as ordered and without issues.

Certificate of Conformity
This certificate shows that the imported machine complies with Iranian technical and safety standards or other international references. For machines with safety or technical sensitivities, presenting this certificate is essential.

Proof of Payment of Customs Duties and Taxes
Before clearance, the importer must pay the applicable customs duties and taxes. This certificate serves as confirmation of full payment; without it, clearance is not possible.

Insurance Policy
The transport insurance policy guarantees the safety of the goods during transit. It covers all potential risks during transportation and compensates for losses in case of an incident.
