How to standardize the declaration of exported heating products (Customs Q&A)
Ningbo Customs:
We are a trading company. Recently, some foreign customers have placed orders for several heating products. What are the requirements for standardized declaration of exported heating products?
Mr. Sun, the person in charge of a trading company in Ningbo
Mr. Sun:
There are various types of exported heating products, including electric blankets, heaters, heating boilers, etc. Below is a detailed introduction on how to declare heating products in export trade:
Standardize the application elements
1、 Purpose: Refers to the scope of application of heating products. For example, the radiation type small solar heater under item 8516.2920 of the tariff code can be reported as "Purpose: Household".
2、 Working mode: refers to the working mode of heating products. The working modes of heating products for electrical space heaters mainly include storage, radiation, convection, etc. For example, electric heating oil heaters can be reported as "Working mode: convection".
3、 Brand (Chinese or foreign name): Refers to the brand logo added by the trademark owner such as the manufacturer or distributor of heating products on the goods, and the Chinese or foreign brand name needs to be filled in. For example, "Brand: SONGEN"; If there are no Chinese or foreign brands, please fill in "no Chinese or foreign brands" instead of simply filling in "none".
4、 Principle: Refers to the working principle of heating products. For example, the principle of the compression type heat pump under tariff line 8418.6120 (whether it is compression type or not) can be reported as "Principle: Compression Type".
5、 Model: Refers to the code marked on the heating product that represents the product's performance, function, purpose, and other indicators. For example, the compression heat pump model KR-909T under tariff code 8418.6120 can be reported as "Model: KR-909T".
6、 Ingredient content: If the heating product is a textile finished product referred to in Chapter 63 of the Customs Import and Export Tariff of the People's Republic of China, the name and weight percentage of the textile material components contained in the product must be declared. For example, the composition of the electric blanket under tariff code 6301.1000 can be reported as "85% polyester and 15% cotton".
7、 Item number: refers to the unique number marked by the manufacturer for different types and batches of heating products produced, with each type and batch of heating products corresponding to a specific item number. For example, the electric blanket item number under the tariff code column 6301.1000 can be filled in as "10970".
8、 Power (price factor): refers to the functional size of heating products, i.e. rated power, expressed in kilowatts. For example, if the power of a household boiler under tariff code 8403.1010 is between 18-35 kilowatts, it can be reported as "35 kilowatts".
9、 Temperature: refers to the highest temperature of the hot water boiler supply in heating products, expressed in "℃", such as "100 ℃".
10、 Circulating device: The standardized declaration elements for circulating devices in heating products only need to be filled in as "equipped with circulating devices" or "without circulating devices".
■ Specific examples
(1) Small Sun Heater
The core of a small solar heater consists of electric heating elements (heating wires/quartz tubes/halogen tubes), a reflector cover (parabolic metal cover), a protective net, a body shell, a temperature control switch, and a power cord. After being powered on, the electric heating elements generate heat, and the reflector cover reflects the heat in a directional manner to form a localized centralized heating supply. The temperature control switch adjusts the on/off state to achieve temperature control.
Tax code column: 8516.2920; Declaration elements: 1. Product name; 2. Purpose; 3. Working methods (storage, radiation, convection, etc.); 4. Brand (Chinese or foreign name); 5. Model.
(2) Compression heat pump
A compression heat pump consists of a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device, an evaporator, and a refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs low-grade heat energy from the outside in the evaporator, evaporates, and is compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure gas by the compressor. It releases heat in the condenser for heating, and then returns to the evaporator after being depressurized and cooled by the throttling device. It is commonly used for preparing domestic hot water.
Tax code column: 8418.6120; Declaration elements: 1. Product name; 2. Principle (whether it is compression type); 3. Brand (Chinese or foreign name); 4. Model.
(3) Electric blanket
Composed of electric heating wire (or carbon fiber heating element), insulation layer (PVC/non-woven fabric), fabric layer, temperature controller (including temperature sensor) and connecting wires. After the electric heating wire is powered on, it generates heat according to Joule's law. The current size or on/off frequency is adjusted by a temperature controller to control the temperature of the blanket surface, achieving close fitting or localized heating. Tax code column: 6301.1000; Declaration elements: 1. Product name; 2. Ingredient content; 3. Brand (Chinese or foreign name); 4. Item number.
(4) Hot water boiler for household centralized heating
Fuel combustion or electric heating elements generate heat, heating the internal water. The hot water is then transported to the indoor heat dissipation terminal (radiator/floor heating) through a circulating water pump. After heat dissipation, the low-temperature medium flows back to the boiler for reheating, forming a circulating heating system. The control system maintains system pressure and set temperature. Tax code column: 8403.1010; Declaration elements: 1. Product name; 2. Purpose; 3. Brand (Chinese or foreign name); 4. Model number; 5. Is there a circulation device installed; 6. Power; 7. Temperature.
Please fill in the declaration elements one by one according to the specific category of heating products, and pay close attention to the admission requirements of the target market.
