Oil press machine Hs Code

Oil press machine harmonized system code

Product Overview The oil press machine, classified under HS Code 847920, is an industrial apparatus designed for extracting oil from various oil-bearing seeds and nuts through mechanical pressing. This equipment typically features a robust construction with stainless steel or alloy components, ensuring durability and hygiene compliance. Key specifications include variable pressing capacities ranging from 5 to 100 tons per day, adjustable screw press mechanisms, and integrated temperature control systems to optimize oil yield and quality. The product encompasses both manual and fully automated models, capable of processing raw materials such as sunflower seeds, soybeans, peanuts, and rapeseeds with moisture content typically below 10%. Subcategories within HS Code 847920 include single-screw and double-screw oil presses, hydraulic presses, and expeller-type machines, each differentiated by their mechanical design and throughput capabilities. Commercially, these machines serve critical roles in food processing plants, edible oil production facilities, and retail-scale oil extraction units, enabling efficient, continuous oil recovery. Their competitive advantage lies in combining high extraction efficiency, operational reliability, and compliance with food-grade manufacturing standards, positioning them as essential equipment in global edible oil supply chains. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications HS Code 847920 is situated within Chapter 84 (Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof), under Heading 8479, which covers “Machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter.” The full 6-digit classification—847920—specifically identifies oil press machines used for the mechanical extraction of oil. This classification is justified by the machine’s primary mechanical function and its exclusion from other specified machinery categories. Trade professionals typically package these machines in custom-fitted steel crates or reinforced wooden cases to prevent mechanical damage during transit, with preservation methods including anti-corrosion coatings and desiccant inclusion to control moisture. Shipping requirements emphasize compliance with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code when applicable, and adherence to WTO trade facilitation agreements to streamline customs clearance. Quality standards governing these machines often align with ISO 9001 for manufacturing quality management, and specific food safety certifications such as FDA or EFSA approvals for materials in contact with edible oils. This ensures conformity with international trade regulations and facilitates seamless import/export operations across diverse jurisdictions.
