Last updated: July 2026 dataConventional, non-numerically controlled tube benders, pipe notchers, and bar-working machines serve fabrication and maintenance operations across construction, HVAC, and general metalworking. Italy leads US imports under this heading, with Mexico a notable second-ranked supplier — a proximity-driven sourcing pattern that supports just-in-time delivery to US manufacturers near the southern border. The US schedule splits the heading by condition and value across four 10-digit lines (8462590010 through 8462590060), with presses again excluded. Germany, China, and France round out the top supplier group, offering a range of price points from precision European equipment to cost-competitive Asian alternatives.

Tooling such as dies, mandrels, and wiper dies that is imported together with the machine and clearly intended for use with it may be classified with the machine under GRI 5(a) or (b) as accessories or parts. However, tooling imported separately or in quantities suggesting independent sale should be classified on its own merits. Documenting the tooling's machine-specific design on the commercial invoice supports combined classification.
New non-NC machines for working tube, pipe, hollow sections, and bar valued under $3,025 each fall under 8462590020, while higher-value new machines are covered by 8462590050 or 8462590060. The per-unit transaction value on the commercial invoice determines which line applies, so importers of multi-unit shipments should ensure per-unit pricing is clearly stated.
