HS v2017 Code: 846229

About machine-tools; bending, folding, straightening or flattening machines (including presses), (other than numerically controlled), for working metal

hs code 846229 covers a range of machine-tools used for bending, folding, straightening, or flattening metal. These machines play a crucial role in the metalworking industry, enabling the shaping and forming of metal components for a wide variety of applications, from automotive parts to construction materials. As a key part of the manufacturing supply chain, this industry contributes significantly to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of machines under hs code 846229 typically involves a combination of metal fabrication, precision engineering, and advanced manufacturing techniques. This includes processes such as cutting, welding, and assembly to create the various components that make up the final machine. Many of these machines also incorporate hydraulic or pneumatic systems to provide the necessary force and control for bending, folding, and straightening metal workpieces.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of machines under hs code 846229 include various types of metal, such as steel, aluminum, and alloys, as well as specialized components like hydraulic cylinders, motors, and control systems. Manufacturers in this industry also rely on advanced tools, jigs, and fixtures to ensure the precision and accuracy of their products. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and machinists, is a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by hs code 846229 is the production of machine-tools for bending, folding, straightening, or flattening metal. These machines are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 870323 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, 730890 (Structures and parts of structures (for example, bridges and bridge-sections, lock-gates, towers, lattice masts, roofs, roofing frameworks, doors and windows and their frames and thresholds for doors, shutters, balustrades, pillars and columns), of iron or steel; plates, rods, angles, shapes, sections, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures, of iron or steel), and 842139 Filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for gases, among others.
