Last updated: August 2026 dataWoodworking machine tools classified here — including debarkers (8465990210), lathes (8465990220), and general woodworking machines (8465990230) — serve the lumber, furniture, and millwork industries, while a separate line (8465990250) captures tools for other hard materials such as hard rubber and hard plastics. Imports from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, a key duty-cost consideration for buyers sourcing CNC routers, panel saws, and similar equipment. Canada leads supply, followed by China and Italy, reflecting both proximity-driven trade and Europe's strong tradition of precision woodworking machinery manufacturing. Classifying multi-function machines correctly between the woodworking and hard-materials lines is a recurring challenge that often requires a binding ruling.

Classification turns on the machine's principal function or design intent. A machine primarily built for woodworking typically falls under the woodworking lines (8465990210–8465990230), while one designed for hard plastics or similar non-wood materials falls under 8465990250. When function is ambiguous, importers should seek a CBP binding ruling before entry.
Yes. Woodworking machine tools imported from China are generally subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard MFN duty rate. Importers should verify the applicable Section 301 list and any exclusions in effect at the time of entry, as coverage and exclusion status can change.
