HS-6 · Subheading
846330
Machine-tools; machines for working wire, without removing material
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 846330 when importing or exporting machine-tools specifically designed for working wire without removing material. For example, a shipment of wire bending machines falls under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 846331, which covers machine-tools for working wire with removing material. If your equipment cuts or shapes wire by removing material, you should consider that classification instead.
The HS-6 846330 classification includes machines that manipulate wire through bending, coiling, or other processes that do not involve cutting. These tools are essential in industries like automotive and electronics for forming wire components.
When dealing with machine-tools for wire, ensure you understand the specific functions of your equipment to avoid misclassification. Tools that perform both cutting and non-cutting functions may require careful evaluation.
