U.S. imports of non-numerically controlled non-horizontal lathes for removing metal (HS 845899) totaled $521K in July 2026, traded with 13 countries.
Importers of Non-Numerically Controlled Non-Horizontal Lathes for Removing Metal paid $110K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 24% on $456K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Non-Numerically Controlled Non-Horizontal Lathes for Removing Metal imports of $521K in July 2026 ran 13% below the year-to-date monthly average of $600K.
Last updated: July 2026 dataConventional (non-N/C) vertical turret lathes and other non-horizontal lathes without CNC control serve maintenance, repair, and specialty production environments where manual operator skill substitutes for automated control. Taiwan leads US import supply under this heading, followed by Spain and Romania — a geographically diverse supplier base that reflects both economy-grade and mid-tier precision manufacturing. The US schedule separates vertical turret lathes (used at 8458991010; new at 8458991050) from other non-horizontal non-N/C lathes, with the latter further split by condition and a $3,025 value threshold (8458995060 and 8458995090). As with other non-N/C lathe lines, accurate customs valuation is essential given the value-based classification breakpoints.

Yes. A digital readout provides positional feedback to the operator but does not automatically control axis movement — the operator still manually positions the tool. True numerical control (N/C or CNC) requires the machine's axes to be driven automatically by a programmed control system. A VTL with only a DRO is correctly classified as non-N/C under 8458.99, not under the N/C lines of 8458.91. Importers should obtain a clear statement from the manufacturer confirming the control architecture.
Each machine must be classified and valued individually. Used VTLs (8458991010) and new VTLs (8458991050) are separate 10-digit lines, and commingling them on a single entry line is incorrect. The commercial invoice should itemize each unit with its serial number, condition, and individual value. CBP may request inspection or additional documentation if condition is not clearly established, so maintaining separate packing lists for used and new units is advisable.
