U.S. exports of Non-Numerically Controlled Boring Machines for Metal Removal (Other) (HS 845949) totaled $84K in August 2026.
Non-Numerically Controlled Boring Machines for Metal Removal (Other) imports of $20K in August 2026 ran 92% below the year-to-date monthly average of $264K.
Last updated: August 2026 dataConventional boring machines without numerical control serve maintenance, repair, and low-volume production environments where manual setup flexibility outweighs the throughput advantages of CNC equipment. Italy and Germany are the leading US suppliers under this heading, with the United Kingdom also a notable source — a supply profile that reflects European specialization in robust, long-service-life floor-standing boring equipment. The schedule separates used or rebuilt units (8459490010), new machines under $3,025 (8459490020), new vertical machines over $3,025 (8459490030), and new non-vertical machines over $3,025 (8459490090). As with other boring-machine subheadings, spindle orientation and machine condition are the two classification pivots importers must document.

Used and rebuilt machines enter under 8459490010 regardless of value threshold, but importers should be prepared for CBP to scrutinize whether a rebuilt machine has been sufficiently restored to qualify as 'rebuilt' rather than merely 'used.' Documentation of the rebuilding process — replaced components, refurbished systems, and the rebuilder's certification — supports the classification and can affect duty treatment and admissibility under any applicable trade-remedy orders.
Yes. If a machine is designed and marketed to perform both boring and milling operations, it belongs under the boring-milling subheadings (845939) rather than the dedicated boring-machine subheadings (845949). The key test is whether milling capability is integral to the machine's design or merely incidental. Manufacturer specifications and the machine's principal function as described in commercial documentation are the primary evidence CBP considers.
