HS-6 · Subheading
845961
Machine-tools; for milling by removing metal, (not knee-type), 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 845961 when importing or exporting numerically controlled milling machines designed for metal removal, such as CNC milling machines. For instance, a shipment of a CNC vertical milling machine would fall under this code.
This code specifically applies to milling machines that are not knee-type, distinguishing them from other milling machines classified under HS-6 845962, which covers knee-type machines. It's crucial to identify the machine type correctly to ensure proper classification.
When dealing with machine tools for milling, note that HS-6 845961 encompasses those that utilize numerical control for precision. These machines are often used in manufacturing for tasks like creating intricate parts for automotive or aerospace applications.
If you're unsure whether your machine qualifies under this code, consider the design and control type. Machines that lack knee-type features and are numerically controlled should be classified here, while manual or knee-type machines will require different codes.

Questions & answers
For orientation only—the binding text is your national tariff and the WCO nomenclature your country uses.
- What types of milling machines are covered under HS-6 845961?
- HS-6 845961 covers numerically controlled milling machines that are not knee-type, including CNC vertical and horizontal milling machines.
- How can I tell if my milling machine is knee-type?
- Knee-type milling machines have a vertically adjustable table and a knee that supports the table. If your machine lacks these features, it is likely non-knee type.
- What is the difference between HS-6 845961 and HS-6 845962?
- HS-6 845961 is for non-knee type numerically controlled milling machines, while HS-6 845962 is specifically for knee-type milling machines.
- Are there specific import regulations for CNC milling machines?
- Yes, CNC milling machines may have specific import regulations, including safety standards and certifications that must be met before importation.
- Can I classify a manual milling machine under HS-6 845961?
- No, HS-6 845961 is specifically for numerically controlled milling machines. Manual milling machines would need to be classified under a different HS code.
- What documentation is needed for importing a CNC milling machine?
- You will typically need a commercial invoice, packing list, and any relevant certifications or compliance documents for the CNC milling machine.
- How do I determine the correct HS code for my machine tool?
- To determine the correct HS code, assess the machine's features, control type, and intended use. Consulting with a customs broker can also help.
- What are the common uses for machines classified under HS-6 845961?
- Machines under HS-6 845961 are commonly used in manufacturing sectors for producing precision parts in industries like automotive, aerospace, and machinery.
