U.S. imports of Non-Numerically Controlled Horizontal Lathes for Removing Metal (HS 845819) totaled $5.6M in August 2026, imported from 23 countries.
Importers of Non-Numerically Controlled Horizontal Lathes for Removing Metal paid $635K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 11.49% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataConventional (non-N/C) horizontal lathes remain in active trade for toolroom, maintenance, and lower-volume production applications where the capital cost of CNC control is not justified. Taiwan and China are the leading US import sources under this heading, with Italy also a notable supplier — a mix that spans both economy-grade and precision toolroom machines. The US schedule uses both condition (used versus new) and value thresholds (under or over $3,025) as classification breakpoints, with engine and toolroom lathes over $3,025 (8458190030) and automatic bar/chuck lathes (8458190050) separately identified. Accurate invoice valuation and clear product descriptions are essential, as the $3,025 value threshold is a hard classification line.

The threshold applies to the customs value of each individual machine. Lathes valued under $3,025 are classified under 8458190020, while those valued at or above $3,025 fall into one of the higher-value lines depending on type (engine/toolroom at 8458190030, automatic bar/chuck at 8458190050, or other at 8458190090). The declared customs value must reflect the transaction value per CBP valuation rules — not a discounted or promotional price — so importers should ensure invoices accurately reflect fair market value.
Automatic bar and chuck lathes are designed for repetitive, self-acting production of turned parts from bar stock or chucked workpieces, with automatic cycling that does not require continuous operator intervention between cuts. This distinguishes them from engine lathes and toolroom lathes, which require manual setup and control for each operation. The automatic cycling feature — not the presence of digital readouts or stops — is the key classification criterion.
