Heading 8465 — Machine-tools; (including machines for nailing, stapling, glueing or otherwise assembling) for working wood, cork, bone, hard plastics or rubber or similar hard materials
Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 846595 when importing or exporting drilling or morticing machines specifically designed for working with wood, cork, or hard plastics. For example, a shipment of a heavy-duty drilling machine for a furniture manufacturing plant would fall under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 846594, which covers other types of machine-tools for similar materials but may not include drilling functions. If your machine is primarily for cutting or shaping rather than drilling, consider the other subheading.
Drilling machines classified under HS-6 846595 are typically used in woodworking shops for creating precise holes in various materials. They may come with features like adjustable speed settings and multiple drill bit sizes for versatility.
When determining if this code applies, consider the machine's end-use. If it's designed for drilling holes in wood or similar materials, it's likely to fit here. However, machines that primarily perform other functions, like sanding or shaping, would not.
