Numerically controlled flat-surface grinding machines use programmed axes to achieve precise, repeatable stock removal across flat workpieces โ a critical capability in aerospace, die-and-mold, and precision tooling shops. Switzerland and Germany are the leading US import sources, reflecting the premium engineering standards these markets bring to high-accuracy surface grinding. The US tariff schedule divides the heading into two 10-digit lines: used or rebuilt machines (8460120040) and new machines (8460120080), a distinction that affects both duty treatment and eligibility for certain trade-remedy measures. Importers should verify whether specific models are subject to Section 301 tariffs based on country of origin.
