When you purchase one of our Turkish-made milking machines shipped from our store to a U.S. address, the core equipment benefits from duty-free entry under U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) provisions. HTS 8434.10.00.00 (“Milking machines”) and HTS 8434.90.00.00 (parts of milking machines and dairy machinery) both carry a 0% Most-Favored-Nation duty rate, meaning no customs tariff on the complete unit or replacement parts—helping keep ex-factory prices competitive upon import into the U.S. dripcapital.com.
1. Customs Duty: 0% on Milking Machines
Under HTS Chapter 84, heading 8434 covers “Milking machines and dairy machinery, and parts thereof.” Specifically:
HTS 8434.10.00.00 – Milking machines: “Free” general rate under Most-Favored-Nation treatment.
HTS 8434.90.00.00 – Parts of milking machines & dairy machinery: also duty-free. Benefit: No customs tariff reduces one component of landed cost, especially valuable for high-value equipment. Accurate classification (e.g., confirming HTS code 8434.10.00.00) and precise commercial invoices/packing lists
are needed to support the zero-duty claim with CBP
When you enter your location, you’ll see the shipping cost of USD 212 for the milking machines. That’s all you pay—no additional duties, taxes, or carrier fees.
We take care of everything.
