U.S. imports of tools for pressing, stamping, or punching (base metal) (HS 820730) totaled $87.9M in July 2026, traded with 60 countries.
Importers of Tools for Pressing, Stamping, or Punching (Base Metal) paid $10.3M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $72.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataStamping dies, punching tools, and metal-forming dies are foundational to automotive, appliance, and electronics manufacturing, where high-volume sheet-metal operations demand precise, durable tooling. The US schedule under 820730 draws a critical line between tools suitable for cutting metal (8207303020 and 8207303050) and those used for non-cutting operations such as forming and thread rolling (8207306060, 8207306062), with separate NESOI provisions for other non-cutting tools and their parts. Japan and South Korea dominate US imports under this heading, reflecting the deep integration of those countries' tooling industries with North American automotive supply chains.

CBP generally looks at the tool's design and intended use: tools engineered to shear or blank sheet metal classify under the cutting-metal lines (e.g., 8207303020), while tools designed to deform, form, or emboss without severing material — including thread-rolling dies — fall under the non-cutting provisions. When a tool performs both functions, the primary use or the importer's documented end-use may be determinative; a binding ruling from CBP can provide certainty.
Yes. Pressing, stamping, and punching tools of base metal originating in China are generally subject to Section 301 additional tariffs. Given that Japan and South Korea lead supply under this heading, many importers have already diversified sourcing away from China for this product category.
