846263

Machine-tools; cold metal working presses, servo-presses

Heading 8462Machine-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 846263 when importing or exporting cold metal working presses, specifically servo-presses designed for metal shaping. For example, a shipment of a servo-press used in an automotive manufacturing plant would fall under this code.

This code is part of the broader 84 chapter, which encompasses machinery and mechanical appliances. It specifically focuses on machine-tools for metalworking, including various methods like forging and bending.

The 8462 heading narrows this down to machine-tools, including those that work metal through cold pressing techniques. This distinguishes it from other types of presses that may use heat or different methods.

When classifying under 846263, note that it covers presses that operate without heat, which is different from other machine-tools that may involve heating processes, such as those found in 8462 lines for hot working.
