U.S. imports of shearing machines for flat metal products (non-nc) (HS 846239) totaled $1.3M in April 2026, traded with 19 countries.
Importers of Shearing Machines for Flat Metal Products (Non-NC) paid $198K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $1.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Shearing Machines for Flat Metal Products (Non-NC) imports of $1.3M in April 2026 ran 69% below the year-to-date monthly average of $4.2M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataConventional, non-numerically controlled shearing machines for flat metal — including mechanical and hydraulic guillotine shears — serve fabrication shops where lower-volume or less complex cutting operations do not justify CNC investment. Germany leads US imports under this heading, with Australia and Italy also among the top suppliers. The US schedule divides the heading by condition and value: used machines (8462390010), new units under $3,025 (8462390020), and new units over $3,025 (8462390050). As with the N/C shearing heading, combined punching-and-shearing machines are excluded and classified separately.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The $3,025 value threshold applies only to new machines under 846239; used machines fall under 8462390010 regardless of value. For used equipment, the commercial invoice should clearly state the machine's condition and prior service history. CBP may request additional evidence such as maintenance records or a third-party appraisal if the declared condition is questioned.
CBP treats both used and rebuilt machines as non-new for classification purposes under 8462390010. However, a substantially rebuilt machine may raise questions about whether it should be treated as new for duty or valuation purposes. Importers of heavily refurbished shears should document the extent of rebuilding and consider seeking a binding ruling if the machine's condition is borderline.
