HS-6 · Subheading
845959
Machine-tools; for milling by removing metal, knee-type, other than numerically controlled
Heading 8459 — Machine-tools; (including way-type unit head machines) for drilling, boring, milling, threading or tapping by removing metal, other than lathes of heading no. 8458
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 845959 when importing or exporting knee-type milling machines that are not numerically controlled. These machines are commonly used in metalworking shops for tasks like milling, drilling, and boring. For example, a shipment of a knee-type milling machine designed for manual operation would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers knee-type milling machines, which are distinguished from other milling machines like bed-type or vertical milling machines. If you have a numerically controlled milling machine, you would need to look at HS-6 845951 instead, which is designated for those advanced models.
Knee-type milling machines allow for manual adjustments and are often used for precision metalwork. They typically feature a movable table that can be raised or lowered, making them versatile for various milling tasks. If your machine has automatic controls or is part of a CNC system, it would not be classified here.
When considering this HS code, think about the specific features of your milling machine. If it has a knee-type design and lacks numerical control, it fits perfectly under HS-6 845959. Always ensure that your product descriptions match the specifications outlined in this subheading.
