U.S. imports of shaping or slotting machines for metal removal (HS 846120) totaled $2.2M in April 2026, traded with 9 countries.
Importers of Shaping or Slotting Machines for Metal Removal paid $333K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $2.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Shaping or Slotting Machines for Metal Removal imports of $2.2M in April 2026 ran 44% above the year-to-date monthly average of $1.6M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataShaping and slotting machines use a reciprocating single-point tool to remove metal in linear strokes, making them essential for producing keyways, internal profiles, and flat surfaces that rotary cutters cannot reach. The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading by control type and value: numerically controlled units fall under 8461204000, while conventional machines are split among used/rebuilt (8461208030), new units valued under $3,025 (8461208070), and new units over $3,025 (8461208090). Austria leads US import supply, with India and Taiwan also prominent sources. Importers should note that machine tools in this heading may be subject to Section 232 tariff considerations depending on country of origin.

Numerically controlled shaping and slotting machines are classified under 8461204000, regardless of value. Conventional (non-NC) machines are then split by condition and value: used or rebuilt units go to 8461208030, new units valued under $3,025 to 8461208070, and new units valued at $3,025 or over to 8461208090.
Both operate on a reciprocating single-point tool principle and share the same HTS heading. A shaper moves the tool horizontally, while a slotter moves it vertically — but US customs classifies both under heading 846120 without a separate subheading split between the two types, so the distinction does not affect the tariff line.
