HS-6 · Subheading
845970
Machine-tools; for threading or tapping by removing metal
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 845970 when importing or exporting machine-tools specifically designed for threading or tapping metal. This includes equipment like tapping machines and thread cutting machines that remove metal to create precise threads in various materials.
This code is distinct from HS-6 845980, which covers machine-tools for other operations like boring or milling. While both are under the same heading, 845970 focuses solely on tools that perform threading and tapping functions.
The HS-6 845970 classification applies to machines that may be used in manufacturing settings for producing threaded components, such as bolts, screws, and fittings. These tools can be essential in industries like automotive, aerospace, and construction.
When considering HS-6 845970, remember that it encompasses not just standalone machines but also attachments and accessories specifically designed for threading and tapping operations.
