Last updated: August 2026 dataGermany and Italy dominate US imports of bending and assembling machines for woodworking — equipment central to furniture, cabinetry, and panel-product assembly lines. The heading covers doweling machines (8465940015), edgebanding machines (8465940025), laminating machines (8465940035), cold presses (8465940045), other presses (8465940055), and general bending/assembling machines not elsewhere specified (8465940065), plus a used/rebuilt line and a residual hard-materials line. Austria, Sweden, and the Czech Republic round out the top supplier group, reflecting the concentration of high-precision woodworking machinery manufacturing in Central Europe.

Yes. The HTS assigns them separate 10-digit lines: edgebanding machines for woodworking are classified under 8465940025, while laminating machines fall under 8465940035. Edgebanders apply edge material to panel edges, whereas laminators bond sheet materials across a face surface. Importers should use the manufacturer's product description and technical function — not just the machine's trade name — to determine the correct line.
Cold presses are specifically enumerated under 8465940045, while other presses (including hot presses) fall under 8465940055. A machine capable of both modes should be classified by its principal function as documented in the manufacturer's specifications and the commercial context of the sale. If the machine is marketed and used primarily as a cold press, 8465940045 is appropriate; if hot pressing is the primary function, 8465940055 applies. A CBP binding ruling can resolve ambiguity for dual-mode equipment.
