U.S. imports of draw-benches for bars, tubes, profiles & wire (HS 846310) totaled $3.3M in August 2026, imported from 18 countries.
Importers of Draw-Benches for Bars, Tubes, Profiles & Wire paid $567K in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 17.00% of the $3.3M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataDraw-benches pull metal bars, tubes, profiles, and wire through a die to reduce cross-section and improve surface finish without cutting — a chipless process that preserves material and produces tight-tolerance drawn products for hydraulic tubing, precision shafting, and fastener wire. Germany and Italy are the primary US import sources for this specialized equipment, reflecting European leadership in precision metalworking machinery. The US schedule (lines 8463100040 through 8463100080) divides entries by condition and a $3,025 value threshold for new machines. Buyers sourcing from China should assess Section 301 exposure, while German and Italian equipment may carry higher unit values that push entries into the upper price bracket.

Draw-benches (846310) are typically used for bars, tubes, and profiles — larger, stiffer stock drawn in discrete lengths using a chain or hydraulic pull. Wire-drawing machines (846330) are designed for continuous coiled wire and use multiple dies in tandem. The stock form and process continuity are the key classification factors; CBP may request technical specifications to confirm which subheading applies.
New draw-benches are split between line 8463100060 (under $3,025 per unit) and 8463100080 ($3,025 and over). The threshold is based on the per-unit transaction value as declared on the commercial invoice. Importers should ensure the invoice clearly states the unit price, as CBP uses this figure to assign the correct 10-digit line.
