HS CODE 84178050 for Waste Incinerators C Understanding Customs Classification with HICLOVER
When importing or exporting incinerators, one of the most important requirements at international customs clearance is the correct HS CODE declaration. For HICLOVER medical waste and solid waste incinerators, the applicable HS CODE is 84178050. Many overseas buyers are unfamiliar with the specific classification, so they often search online for the right code when preparing to import incinerators for hospitals, clinics, petroleum camps, or industrial facilities. By understanding the HS CODE system, buyers can save time, reduce customs delays, and ensure smooth international trade.
What is HS CODE 84178050?
HS CODE stands for “Harmonized System Code,” an international nomenclature developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO). It standardizes the classification of goods across borders.
-
84178050 specifically refers to industrial or laboratory incinerators for waste treatment, typically diesel-fired, gas-fired, or dual-fuel units.
-
In some countries, this is described as “Industrial furnaces and ovens, including incinerators, not elsewhere specified”.
-
In others, it may appear as “Other combustion or waste treatment equipment”.
For example:
-
In China, HS 84178050 is categorized under “Industrial or laboratory incinerators, including waste incinerators.”
-
In the European Union, it may fall under “Industrial furnaces and ovens; incinerators for waste treatment.”
-
In the United States, the import system (HTS Code) lists similar descriptions, sometimes with extended digits for sub-classification.
Although the description wording differs slightly by country, the number 84178050 (or its extended local version) remains the global reference for waste incineration equipment.
Why HS CODE Matters for Buyers
Incorrect HS CODE declaration can lead to:
-
Delays at customs clearance.
-
Incorrect import duties or tariffs being charged.
-
Possible rejection of shipments or additional documentation requests.
For buyers of HICLOVER incinerators, knowing and using 84178050 ensures that your hospital waste containerized incinerator (for example, a 100 kg per hour unit), your mobile incinerator for rural clinics and camps, or even larger containerized systems for African petroleum camps, will be correctly identified and taxed under the proper tariff category.
