U.S. exports of numerically controlled shearing machines for flat metal products (HS 846233) totaled $12.3M in July 2026.
Importers of Numerically Controlled Shearing Machines for Flat Metal Products paid $83K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $584K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Numerically Controlled Shearing Machines for Flat Metal Products imports of $768K in July 2026 ran 28% below the year-to-date monthly average of $1.1M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataCNC guillotine shears and rotary shearing machines for flat metal sheet and plate are the core equipment of this heading, widely used in fabrication shops, shipyards, and appliance manufacturing. Japan leads US supply, with Germany a close second and Turkey a notable third-ranked source — an unusual supplier mix that reflects both precision machine-tool exports and competitive mid-range shear manufacturing. The US schedule splits the heading simply by condition: used or rebuilt (8462330040) versus new (8462330080), making machine condition the primary classification variable. Importers should note that combined punching-and-shearing machines are excluded from this heading and classified instead under the punching/notching headings.

No. Combined punching and shearing machines are explicitly excluded from the shearing machine headings and are instead classified under the punching, notching, or nibbling machine headings (846242 for N/C versions). A machine that performs both operations should be evaluated based on its principal function or, if that is unclear, under GRI 3 classification rules.
Japan's dominance reflects its established precision machine-tool industry, where manufacturers produce high-accuracy CNC shears for demanding applications. Importers sourcing from Japan should factor in longer ocean transit times compared to European suppliers, and should confirm whether any applicable trade measures affect their specific machine model or supplier.
