About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category, HTS Code 8462.29.00.30, specifically classifies **press brakes**. Press brakes are a type of metal-forming machine tool designed to bend, fold, straighten, or flatten flat metal products. They operate by applying force to a workpiece, typically sheet metal, through a punch and die mechanism, allowing for precise angular bends and folds. These machines are essential in fabrication shops for creating various shapes and components from metal sheets.

Within the broader category of machines for working metal by bending, folding, straightening, or flattening flat products, this subcategory distinguishes itself from its siblings. Specifically, it is differentiated from HTS Code 8462.29.00.40, which covers bending rolls. While both are used for forming flat metal products, press brakes utilize a punch and die system to create angular bends, whereas bending rolls employ cylindrical rollers to impart a continuous curve or radius.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification, HTS Code 8462.29.00.30 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of a press brake under this code relies on its core function of bending flat metal products via a pressing action, excluding other forming methods like rolling. It is crucial to ensure the machine's primary purpose and operational mechanism align with the definition of a press brake to ensure correct classification.
