The HS Code (Harmonic System Code) for a grinding machine used for jeans/pants (typically used for stone washing, distressing, or finishing denim garments) would likely fall under the following category:
HS Code: 8451.10.00
– Description: *”Machinery (other than machines of heading 84.50) for washing, cleaning, wringing, drying, ironing, pressing (including fusing presses), bleaching, dyeing, dressing, finishing, coating or impregnating textile yarns, fabrics or made-up textile articles; machines for applying the paste to the base fabric or other support used in the manufacture of floor coverings such as linoleum; machines for reeling, unreeling, folding, cutting or pinking textile fabrics.”*
Breakdown:
– Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
– Heading 8451: Machinery for washing/cleaning/finishing textiles
– Subheading 8451.10: Dry-cleaning machines
– Grinding/stone-washing machines used in denim finishing are often classified here because they are part of the garment finishing process.
Alternative Possible HS Codes:
– If the machine is specifically a grinding/abrasive tool (not part of a textile finishing line), it may fall under:
– 8460.90 (Other machine tools for deburring/grinding)
– 8465.99 (Other machine tools for working stone/ceramics)
However, since this is specifically for jeans/pants processing in the textile industry, 8451.10.00 is the most likely correct classification.
