U.S. imports of bending, folding, straightening & flattening machines for flat metal products (non-nc) (HS 846229) totaled $20.9M in April 2026, traded with 31 countries.
Importers of Bending, Folding, Straightening & Flattening Machines for Flat Metal Products (Non-NC) paid $2.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $18.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataConventional (non-numerically controlled) press brakes, bending rolls, and straightening machines for flat metal products occupy this residual heading, covering equipment that relies on manual or mechanical control rather than CNC systems. The US schedule carves out dedicated lines for press brakes (8462290030) and bending rolls (8462290040) valued over $3,025 when new, alongside lower-value and used/rebuilt categories — a granularity that reflects the wide commercial range from small shop-floor tools to heavy industrial levelers. Italy leads US imports under this heading, with Austria and Canada also significant sources. Importers should pay close attention to whether a machine incorporates any programmable controller, as even basic digital readouts can trigger reclassification into the numerically controlled heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
CBP and the Harmonized System generally treat a machine as numerically controlled when its movements are directed by coded numerical data — typically a CNC or NC controller. A simple digital readout that displays position without directing machine motion does not automatically make the machine N/C. Importers uncertain about a specific machine's control architecture should seek a binding ruling from CBP before entry.
The US schedule provides separate 10-digit lines for press brakes (8462290030) and bending rolls (8462290040), both covering new, non-NC machines valued over $3,025. Other non-NC bending, folding, straightening, and flattening machines that do not fit those specific equipment types fall under the residual line 8462290050. Correct classification depends on the machine's operating principle, not just its commercial name.
