HS-6 · Subheading
846024
Machine-tools; grinding machines (excluding flat-surface, cylindrical and centreless), numerically controlled
Heading 8460 — Machine-tools; for deburring, sharpening, grinding, honing, lapping, polishing or otherwise finishing metal, sintered metal carbides or cermets by means of grinding stones, abrasives or polishing products
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 846024 for numerically controlled grinding machines designed for finishing metal or cermets. An example shipment might include a CNC grinding machine used for precision machining of automotive parts.
This code specifically applies to grinding machines that are numerically controlled, which means they are operated by computer programs for enhanced accuracy. In contrast, HS-6 846021 covers flat-surface grinding machines, which are not included here.
The focus of this HS-6 is on machines that utilize grinding stones or abrasives for finishing processes. For instance, a machine that sharpens cutting tools or polishes metal components would fall under this classification.
When importing or exporting these machines, it's essential to ensure they meet the specifications outlined in this subheading to avoid classification errors. Look closely at the machine's capabilities and control methods.
