846226
Machine-tools; bending, folding, straightening or flattening machines (including presses), for working metal, numerically controlled bending, folding, straightening or fattening machines (not press brakes, panel benders or roll forming machines)
Heading 8462 — Machine-tools (including presses) for working metal by forging, hammering or die forging (excluding rolling mills); machine-tools (including presses, slitting lines and cut-to-length lines) for working metal by bending, folding, straightening, flattening,
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 846226 when importing or exporting numerically controlled machines designed for bending, folding, straightening, or flattening metal. For example, a CNC bending machine used in a manufacturing facility fits this classification.
This code specifically covers machines that are numerically controlled and not classified as press brakes, panel benders, or roll forming machines. In contrast, HS-6 846225 includes non-numerically controlled bending machines, which may have different import requirements.
When considering HS-6 846226, think about machines that automate the bending process, such as those used to create metal frames or components in automotive production. These machines often come with computer interfaces for precision.
If your equipment is designed for metalworking but falls under different functionalities, such as rolling or pressing, you may need to explore other codes like HS-6 846221 or HS-6 846223 for accurate classification.
