HS-6 · Subheading
845969
Machine-tools; for milling by removing metal, not 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 845969 when importing or exporting machine-tools designed for milling by removing metal, specifically those that are not knee-type and are not numerically controlled. An example would be a horizontal milling machine used in metal fabrication.
This code is distinct from HS-6 845968, which covers knee-type milling machines. If your equipment features a knee-type design, you should classify it under that code instead.
The 845969 line includes machine-tools that are typically used in manufacturing settings for tasks such as shaping metal components or creating intricate designs through milling processes. These machines are vital in industries ranging from automotive to aerospace.
When classifying your machine-tools, ensure they meet the specifications outlined in this HS-6 code. If your machine has numerical control capabilities, it would fall under a different classification, such as HS-6 845970.

Questions & answers
For orientation only—the binding text is your national tariff and the WCO nomenclature your country uses.
- What types of machines are classified under HS-6 845969?
- HS-6 845969 covers machine-tools for milling by removing metal that are not knee-type and not numerically controlled, such as horizontal and vertical milling machines.
- How can I tell if my milling machine is knee-type?
- Knee-type milling machines have a knee that can be adjusted vertically, allowing for more flexibility in the machining process. If your machine lacks this feature, it likely falls under HS-6 845969.
- Are CNC milling machines classified under HS-6 845969?
- No, CNC (numerically controlled) milling machines are classified under a different code, specifically HS-6 845970.
- What should I do if my machine doesn't clearly fit into one HS code?
- If your machine has features of multiple classifications, consult with a customs broker or refer to official tariff guidelines for accurate classification.
- Can I import a milling machine classified under HS-6 845969?
- Yes, you can import machines classified under HS-6 845969, but ensure you comply with your country's import regulations and tariffs.
- What are the common applications for machines under HS-6 845969?
- Machines under this code are commonly used in manufacturing industries for tasks such as shaping metal parts, creating slots, and producing intricate designs.
- How do I find the correct HS code for my specific machine?
- To find the correct HS code, review the machine's specifications and compare them with the descriptions provided in the HS code listings or consult with a customs broker.
- What if my machine has automatic features?
- If your milling machine has automatic features but is not knee-type or numerically controlled, it would still fall under HS-6 845969 as long as it meets the other criteria.
