Autogenous Grinding Mill Shell Lifters from Japan
Shell lifter bars are high-strength steel castings installed inside autogenous (AG) and semi-autogenous (SAG) mills. They elevate the ore charge so that rocks cascade and grind copper or gold ores without additional media. As replacement parts for mineral grinding machinery, they are classified under tariff item 8474.90.00.

Import Tips
• Ensure the lifters are declared as parts of mineral grinding machinery under 8474.90.00; the CBSA may request a detailed description of the mill type they fit
• Verify the steel composition and heat treatment certificates to support classification
• If the lifters are imported with the mill itself, confirm whether they should be classified separately or as part of the complete machine
