Overview

This HTS category, 8462, encompasses a broad range of machine tools specifically designed for the working of metals and metal carbides. It includes machinery that employs forging, hammering, or die forging techniques, such as presses used in these processes. Additionally, the category covers machines that operate by bending, folding, straightening, flattening, shearing, punching, notching, or nibbling metal. This includes specialized equipment like slitting lines and cut-to-length lines. Notably, presses for working metal or metal carbides that are not specifically covered by the forging, hammering, or die forging descriptions also fall under this heading.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings at the HTS database root level is crucial. Unlike categories that might cover live animals (e.g., 0101-0105) or other general machinery not specifically for metal working, 8462 is exclusively focused on metal fabrication and shaping machinery. The scope is defined by the specific processes employed, such as forging, bending, or shearing, and the material being worked, which is metal or metal carbide.

Within 8462, further subdivisions detail the specific types of metalworking operations. These subcategories help to refine classification based on the primary function of the machine tool. For instance, distinctions are made between hot forming machines and cold metal working presses. Other subcategories differentiate between machines designed for flat metal products (like bending or shearing machines) and those intended for working tubes, pipes, or bars. The existence of these subcategories allows for granular classification, ensuring that each specific type of metalworking machine is accurately identified and categorized according to its precise function and application within the broader context of metal fabrication machinery.
