U.S. imports of other cylindrical grinding machines, numerically controlled (HS 846023) totaled $16.6M in July 2026, traded with 13 countries.
Importers of Other Cylindrical Grinding Machines, Numerically Controlled paid $756K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 8.2% on $9.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Other Cylindrical Grinding Machines, Numerically Controlled imports of $16.6M in July 2026 ran 39% above the year-to-date monthly average of $11.9M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataNumerically controlled cylindrical grinders — covering internal, external, and universal configurations other than centerless — are precision workhorses for aerospace engine components, hydraulic cylinders, and transmission shafts. Switzerland and Germany dominate US imports of these machines, a pattern consistent with the high-tolerance requirements of the industries they serve. The US schedule provides five 10-digit lines under this heading, distinguishing used machines (8460230040), new internal cylindrical grinders (8460230055), new external/universal cylindrical grinders (8460230065), and additional new machine categories (8460230075, 8460230080). Correct line selection requires identifying both the grinding geometry (internal vs. external) and the machine's condition.

Manufacturer technical specifications, machine drawings, and sales literature that clearly identify the spindle orientation and workpiece geometry are the standard supporting documents. Internal cylindrical grinders (8460230055) are configured to grind bores and internal surfaces, while external/universal machines (8460230065) grind outside diameters. A universal machine capable of both operations is classified with external cylindrical grinders under 8460230065.
Both countries have long-established precision machine-tool industries with deep expertise in high-tolerance cylindrical grinding, particularly for aerospace and automotive drivetrain applications. The technical specifications demanded by US end-users in those sectors — sub-micron roundness tolerances, thermal stability, and advanced NC control integration — align closely with the product lines that Swiss and German manufacturers have developed over decades.
