U.S. imports of cold metal working presses, not elsewhere specified (HS 846269) totaled $568K in April 2026, traded with 6 countries.
Importers of Cold Metal Working Presses, Not Elsewhere Specified paid $99K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $568K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Cold Metal Working Presses, Not Elsewhere Specified imports of $568K in April 2026 ran 13% below the year-to-date monthly average of $654K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataGermany leads US imports in this residual cold-metal-working press category, which captures press types not covered by the hydraulic, mechanical, or servo-press subheadings — including pneumatic, toggle, and other specialty drive configurations. The US schedule (lines 8462690010 through 8462698060) applies the same N/C/condition/value framework used across the broader 8462 heading, so correct classification requires both identifying the drive mechanism and confirming the machine falls outside the more specific subheadings. Belgium and China are also notable sources, reflecting both European precision-equipment exports and Chinese lower-cost press manufacturing. Importers should pay close attention to the NESOI (not elsewhere specified or included) qualifier, as CBP may challenge entries where a more specific subheading arguably applies.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Pneumatic presses, toggle-drive presses, and other specialty configurations that do not operate by hydraulic fluid, conventional mechanical flywheel, or servo-motor drive are the most common candidates. The NESOI designation means the importer must first confirm the machine cannot be classified under the hydraulic (846261), mechanical (846262), or servo (846263) subheadings before using this residual category.
Retain the manufacturer's technical specification sheet, engineering drawings, and a written explanation of the drive mechanism. A binding ruling request to CBP is advisable for high-value or recurring shipments, as misclassification into a more specific subheading — or vice versa — can affect duty liability and Section 301 applicability.
