U.S. imports of Non-Numerically Controlled Non-Knee-Type Milling Machines for Metal Removal (HS 845969) totaled $1.5M in August 2026, imported from 19 countries.
Importers of Non-Numerically Controlled Non-Knee-Type Milling Machines for Metal Removal paid $219K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 14.19% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataConventional non-knee-type milling machines — bed-type, planer-type, profile, and die-sinking configurations — serve specialized metalworking applications where manual operator control or fixed-cycle automation is preferred over full NC programming. Taiwan leads US imports under this heading, with Germany and South Korea as significant secondary sources. The US schedule is the most granular in the milling-machine group, with separate lines for used units (8459690010), new machines under $3,025 (8459690020), new profile/duplicating/die-sinking machines over $3,025 (8459690050), new bed-type machines over $3,025 (8459690070), and all other new machines over $3,025 (8459690090). Correctly identifying the machine's functional type — particularly whether it is a profile, die-sinking, or bed-type — is essential before selecting the applicable 10-digit line.

Profile and duplicating (die-sinking) machines are designed to reproduce a three-dimensional contour from a template or model, typically using a tracer mechanism. Bed-type machines are general-purpose flat-bed mills where the table traverses on a fixed bed without a tracing function. A machine that incorporates a tracer or duplicating attachment as its primary operating mode falls under 8459690050, while a standard bed-type mill without that feature falls under 8459690070. Manufacturer specifications and the machine's marketed function are the key classification evidence.
Imports from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, which apply on top of the standard MFN duty rate and can materially affect landed cost. South Korea is not currently subject to Section 301 measures on machine tools. Importers sourcing from multiple origins should confirm country of origin for each shipment, particularly where machines are assembled from components of mixed origin, as substantial transformation rules determine the country of origin for duty purposes.
