U.S. imports of metal forging, hammering, bending & related machine tools, not elsewhere specified (HS 846290) totaled $6.7M in June 2026, traded with 26 countries.
Importers of Metal Forging, Hammering, Bending & Related Machine Tools, Not Elsewhere Specified paid $774K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 19% on $4.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Metal Forging, Hammering, Bending & Related Machine Tools, Not Elsewhere Specified imports of $6.7M in June 2026 ran 32% below the year-to-date monthly average of $10.0M.
Forging hammers, drop forges, rotary swaging machines, straightening presses, and other metal-forming machine tools that work by impact or deformation — but do not fit the dedicated press subheadings — are captured here, with Germany and Italy the leading US import sources. The US schedule (lines 8462900010 through 8462908060) segments entries by numerical control status, condition (new vs. used), and a $3,025 value threshold, consistent with the broader Chapter 84 machine-tool framework. These machines are critical capital inputs for aerospace forgings, automotive drivetrain components, and heavy industrial fastener production, where material grain structure and dimensional tolerances are tightly specified. Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin equipment under applicable lines.

The key is the working principle: forging hammers and drop forges deliver rapid impact force, while presses apply sustained or progressive force. CBP will examine the machine's operating mechanism and technical documentation. A machine that applies force through a ram driven by hydraulic, mechanical, or servo means — even if used for forging — may be more properly classified under the dedicated press subheadings.
Used and rebuilt machines must be accurately described as such on the commercial invoice and entry documents, since condition determines the applicable 10-digit line (e.g., 8462900010 or 8462904010 for used N/C units). CBP may also scrutinize valuation more closely for used capital equipment; an independent appraisal or manufacturer's rebuild certification can support the declared value.
