U.S. imports of servo-presses for cold metal working (HS 846263) totaled $3.3M in August 2026, imported from 13 countries.
Importers of Servo-Presses for Cold Metal Working paid $344K in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 10.57% of the $3.3M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule. Servo-Presses for Cold Metal Working imports of $3.3M in August 2026 ran 22% below the year-to-date monthly average of $4.2M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataServo-presses represent the newest generation of cold-metal-forming equipment, replacing conventional flywheel drives with servo-motor direct drives that allow programmable ram motion profiles — a capability increasingly demanded by advanced high-strength steel forming in automotive body-in-white production. Taiwan leads US imports under this heading, followed by Germany and Japan, reflecting both established machine-tool exporters and newer Asian entrants in servo-drive press technology. The US schedule (lines 8462630010 through 8462638060) mirrors the structure of other press subheadings, splitting by N/C status, condition, and a $3,025 value threshold for non-N/C new units. Buyers should verify whether a servo-press is classified as numerically controlled, since that determination affects both the applicable tariff line and potential Section 301 exposure for units of Chinese origin.

Not automatically. CBP's N/C determination depends on whether the machine's motion is controlled by a coded numerical program. A servo-press with a programmable controller that meets the definition of numerical control will fall under the N/C lines (e.g., 8462630030 or 8462634030), while one with simpler electronic control may not. Technical documentation from the manufacturer is essential to support the classification.
Servo-presses excel in forming advanced high-strength steels and aluminum alloys where precise, variable ram speed reduces springback and tool wear. Automotive structural components, door inners, and complex drawn parts are common applications. The programmable motion profile also enables multi-stage forming in a single stroke, reducing tooling changeover costs.
