Last updated: August 2026 dataHot hammers, headers, upsetters, and other hot-forming forging machines not classified as closed die equipment fall under this residual heading, covering equipment used in open-die forging, upset forging of fasteners, and drop-hammer operations. Turkey leads US import supply — an unusual sourcing pattern that reflects Turkey's established forging-equipment manufacturing base — followed by South Korea and Canada. The four 10-digit lines separate used or rebuilt machines (8462190010) from new headers and upsetters (8462190030), new mechanical transfer presses (8462190035), and other new forging/die-stamping machines and hammers (8462190055).

Heading 846211 is limited to closed die forging machines — those that use matched upper and lower dies that fully enclose the workpiece. Heading 846219 captures all other hot-forming forging machines and hot hammers, including open-die hammers, drop hammers, and upset forging equipment. The key classification question is whether the dies fully close around the workpiece; if not, 846219 is the correct heading.
Used industrial machinery generally requires standard commercial entry documentation — commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading — but large forging hammers may trigger EPA noise or environmental compliance review depending on end-use facility requirements. Additionally, if the machine contains hydraulic fluids or lubricants, importers should verify that those substances comply with applicable EPA regulations before shipment.
