846269
Machine-tools; cold metal working presses, other than hydraulic, mechanical or servo-presses
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 846269 when importing or exporting cold metal working presses that are not hydraulic, mechanical, or servo-presses. For example, if you're shipping a mechanical press designed for bending metal sheets, this is the correct code.
This code falls under the broader category of machine-tools for metalworking in heading 8462, which includes various types of presses and tools used to shape metal. Unlike HS-6 846268, which covers hydraulic presses, this line specifically excludes those types.
The 846269 classification is for cold metal working presses that operate without hydraulic mechanisms. These are typically used in manufacturing processes where precise shaping of metal is required without the use of fluid power.
If you are dealing with machinery that involves forging or die forging, you might consider HS-6 846210 instead, as that code pertains to specific types of forging machines. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate customs declarations.
