U.S. imports of numerically controlled press brakes for flat metal products (HS 846223) totaled $10.2M in April 2026, traded with 15 countries.
Importers of Numerically Controlled Press Brakes for Flat Metal Products paid $1.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $10.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataNumerically controlled press brakes are among the most widely deployed sheet-metal fabrication machines, bending flat metal blanks to precise angles under programmable control — a capability central to enclosure manufacturing, HVAC ductwork, and structural fabrication. Austria leads US import supply under this heading, a reflection of the globally recognized Austrian press-brake industry, with Japan and Turkey also significant sources. The four 10-digit lines follow the standard NC machine matrix: used or rebuilt (8462230010), new under $3,025 (8462230020), and two NESOI lines for larger new machines (8462230050 and 8462230060).

Austria is home to several globally prominent press-brake manufacturers whose CNC bending machines are widely specified by precision sheet-metal fabricators. These machines are known for high repeatability, advanced angle-measurement systems, and integration with CAD/CAM software — features that command premium pricing and strong brand loyalty in the US market.
A retrofitted machine's classification depends on its condition at the time of importation. If the machine is being imported as a used or rebuilt unit with a CNC retrofit, it would generally fall under 8462230010 (used or rebuilt NC press brakes). CBP may request documentation of the retrofit — such as the controller manufacturer's certificate and installation records — to confirm the NC designation. Consulting a licensed customs broker before entry is advisable for retrofitted equipment.
