About machine-tools; for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics or similar hard materials; planing, milling or moulding (by cutting) machines

hs code 846592 covers a diverse range of machine-tools used for working with hard materials such as wood, cork, bone, rubber, and plastics. These specialized machines play a crucial role in various manufacturing industries, enabling the efficient shaping, cutting, and molding of a wide array of products. Their importance extends across sectors, from furniture and construction to automotive and consumer goods, making them a vital component of the broader industrial landscape.

Production process

The primary production techniques encompassed by hs code 846592 include planing, milling, and molding (by cutting) processes. Planing machines are used to smooth and flatten the surfaces of hard materials, while milling machines employ rotating cutting tools to shape and contour the workpiece. Molding (by cutting) machines, on the other hand, utilize cutting tools to create complex shapes and forms, often used in the production of intricate components or parts.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the industries covered by hs code 846592 include the raw materials being worked, such as wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, and hard plastics. Additionally, these industries rely on specialized machinery, including the various types of machine-tools mentioned, as well as cutting tools, power sources, and other supporting equipment. Skilled labor, particularly operators and technicians trained in the use and maintenance of these machines, is also a critical input.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industries covered by hs code 846592 are diverse, ranging from furniture components and construction materials to automotive parts and consumer goods. The machine-tools produced under this code are often used in the manufacturing of 940360 Wooden furniture and 940330 Wooden furniture of a kind used in offices, as well as in the production of 940190 Parts of furniture and 940169 Other seats, with wooden frames. Additionally, these machine-tools may be utilized in the creation of 392620 Articles of plastics and 400599 Other forms and articles of vulcanized rubber, among other products.
