HS-6 · Subheading
846310
Machine-tools; for working metal, sintered metal carbides or cermets, without removing material, draw-benches for bars, tubes, profiles, wire or the like
Heading 8463 — Machine-tools; n.e.c. for working metal, sintered metal carbides or cermets without removing material
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 846310 when importing or exporting draw-benches specifically designed for working with metal, sintered metal carbides, or cermets without removing material. For example, a shipment of a hydraulic draw-bench used to shape metal rods would fall under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 846320, which covers machine-tools for working metal by removing material. If your equipment is designed to reshape or draw metal without cutting, 846310 is the right classification.
The 846310 subheading includes draw-benches utilized in the production of bars, tubes, and profiles. These machines are essential in processes where metal is elongated or shaped through tension rather than traditional machining methods.
When assessing whether your equipment qualifies under this code, consider its end-use. If it’s used for forming metal products without any material removal, it likely fits here.

- What types of machines are classified under HS-6 846310?
- HS-6 846310 covers draw-benches for working metal, sintered metal carbides, or cermets without removing material, such as hydraulic and manual draw-benches.
- Can I use HS-6 846310 for machines that cut metal?
- No, HS-6 846310 is specifically for machines that work metal without removing material. For cutting machines, you should look at HS-6 846320.
- What is the main use of a draw-bench?
- A draw-bench is used to elongate or shape metal products like bars, tubes, and profiles through tension rather than cutting.
- How do I know if my draw-bench is covered under this code?
- If your draw-bench is designed for shaping metal without removing material, it likely falls under HS-6 846310.
- Are sintered metal carbides included in this classification?
- Yes, HS-6 846310 includes machines for working with sintered metal carbides and cermets without material removal.
- What should I consider when importing machinery under HS-6 846310?
- Ensure that your machinery is specifically designed for non-removal processes and check for any import regulations or duties applicable to this code.
- Can I classify a machine that both cuts and shapes metal under HS-6 846310?
- No, if your machine has cutting capabilities, it should be classified under a different HS code, likely 846320.
- What documentation do I need for importing under HS-6 846310?
- You will need to provide detailed descriptions of the machinery, including its function and specifications, along with any necessary import permits.
