About machine-tools; for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics or similar hard materials; bending or assembling machines

hs code 846594 covers a diverse range of machine-tools used for working with various hard materials such as wood, cork, bone, rubber, and plastics. These specialized machines play a crucial role in industries like furniture manufacturing, construction, and automotive production, enabling the efficient shaping, bending, and assembly of complex components. As a key part of the broader metalworking and woodworking machinery sector, this code represents an important segment of the global manufacturing landscape.

Production process

The machines classified under hs code 846594 employ a variety of production techniques to shape and assemble hard materials. Common methods include milling, drilling, grinding, and sanding to precisely cut and form the desired components. Bending machines use hydraulic or mechanical force to bend and curve materials into specific shapes, while assembly machines utilize clamping, fastening, and joining mechanisms to securely combine multiple parts.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the industries covered by hs code 846594 include the raw materials to be worked, such as wood, plastics, or metals. High-quality cutting tools, abrasives, and other consumables are also essential. Specialized machinery, including computer numerical control (CNC) systems, robotic arms, and material handling equipment, represent significant capital investments for manufacturers in this sector. Skilled technicians and engineers are required to operate and maintain these advanced production systems.

Production outputs

The machine-tools classified under hs code 846594 are used to produce a wide range of finished products, including furniture, construction materials, automotive parts, and industrial components. The outputs from these industries may be further processed or assembled using other machinery, such as 846510 Sawing machines, 846220 Grinding machines, or 846229 Sharpening or polishing machines. The components and assemblies created by hs code 846594 machine-tools are essential inputs for a diverse range of downstream industries.
