About machine-tools; shearing machines (including presses), (other than combined punching and shearing machines, other than numerically controlled), for working metal

hs code 846239 covers a range of machine-tools used for shearing, cutting, and working metal. These machines play a crucial role in various manufacturing industries, enabling the precise and efficient processing of metal components. As a key part of the metalworking machinery sector, this code represents an important segment of the broader industrial machinery and equipment market, which is essential for the production of a wide array of consumer and industrial goods.

Production process

Machines classified under hs code 846239 utilize a range of shearing techniques to cut and shape metal. This typically involves the use of powerful blades or shearing mechanisms that apply force to the material, separating it along a predetermined line. The specific production methods may vary depending on the machine type, scale, and intended application, but often include hydraulic, mechanical, or pneumatic systems to generate the necessary shearing force.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of machines under hs code 846239 include various metal alloys, such as steel, aluminum, and titanium, which serve as the raw materials for the machine components. Additionally, these machines require specialized mechanical and electrical components, including motors, control systems, and precision engineering parts. Manufacturers in this industry also rely on advanced manufacturing technologies, such as computer-numerical control (CNC) systems, to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of their products.

Production outputs

The machines classified under hs code 846239 are used to produce a wide range of metal components and parts for various industries, including 842489 Machinery for working metal, sintered metal carbides or cermets, without removing material, 842490 Parts of machinery for working metal, sintered metal carbides or cermets, without removing material, and 848180 Taps, cocks, valves and similar appliances for pipes, boiler shells, tanks, vats or the like, including pressure-reducing valves and thermostatically controlled valves. These machine-tools are essential for the fabrication of structural elements, automotive parts, industrial equipment, and a multitude of other metal-based products.
