About machine-tools; bending, folding, straightening or flattening machines (including press brakes), for working metal, numerically controlled n.e.c. in item 84.62.2

HS code 846229 covers a critical segment of the metalworking machinery industry, encompassing numerically controlled machines used for bending, folding, straightening, or flattening metal. These versatile machine tools play a vital role in the manufacturing of a wide range of metal products, from automotive components to construction materials, making them an essential part of the broader industrial economy.

Production process

Machines classified under HS code 846229 utilize advanced numerical control (NC) technology to precisely manipulate and shape metal workpieces. These machines typically employ a combination of hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric actuators to apply the necessary force and movement required for bending, folding, straightening, or flattening operations. The use of computerized controls allows for highly accurate and repeatable processing of metal parts, enabling manufacturers to achieve tight tolerances and consistent product quality.

Production inputs

The production of machines under HS code 846229 requires a range of specialized inputs, including high-quality steel and other metal alloys for the machine components, advanced electronic control systems, and precision engineering expertise. Additionally, these machines often require specialized tooling, such as custom-designed dies and forming tools, to accommodate the specific requirements of the metal parts being processed.

Production outputs

Machines classified under HS code 846229 are used to produce a wide variety of metal components and products, which are then consumed by various downstream industries. These outputs may include automotive parts, construction materials, industrial equipment, and consumer goods. Some of the related HS codes that may consume the output of this industry include 870810 Motor vehicle parts and accessories, 730890 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, n.e.c., and 732690 Articles of iron or steel, n.e.c..
