The HB 9000 is a heavy-duty hydraulic rock breaker mounted on a self-propelled excavator carrier for breaking hard rock in quarries and open-pit mines. Classified under HTS 8430.31.0040 because the complete unit functions as self-propelled rock breaking machinery for earth and mineral extraction.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primary function is excavation
Self-propelled excavators with breaker attachments default to excavator classification under 8429 if breaking is secondary.
If non-self-propelled tunneling variants
Similar breakers for tunnel rock breaking without self-propulsion go under other tunneling machinery.
If drilling components only
If imported as bucket or drilling parts rather than complete breaker assembly, classified as parts for boring machinery.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide assembly diagrams showing integration with self-propelled carrier to distinguish from mere attachments
• Ensure country-of-origin markings on both breaker and carrier components for proper valuation
• Watch for reclassification risks if marketed primarily as excavator upgrades rather than rock-specific breakers
