8462.62.40.30 - Other 🖩

This category covers numerically controlled mechanical presses specifically designed for cold working metal. These machines utilize programmed digital commands to perform operations such as bending, folding, straightening, flattening, shearing, punching, notching, or nibbling. The numerical control aspect signifies a high degree of automation and precision, allowing for complex and repetitive tasks to be executed with accuracy based on digital input. Examples include CNC press brakes for intricate bending and CNC punching machines for precise hole creation.

This classification distinguishes itself from sibling categories by focusing exclusively on numerically controlled mechanical presses. While the parent category encompasses various types of metalworking presses, including hydraulic ones, and potentially those not controlled numerically, this subcategory is specifically for those operating via digital programming. It is important to note that while "Used or rebuilt" presses may fall under a different HTS code at the same level (8462.62.40.10), this category is for new or operational presses meeting the numerical control criterion.

As a leaf node, this category represents the most granular classification for this specific type of machinery. Therefore, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level relies on confirming the mechanical nature of the press, its application in cold metal working, and crucially, the presence and function of a numerical control system.
