Last updated: July 2026 dataPrecision cutting, forming, and shaping equipment for metal and other hard materials, machine tools are a cornerstone input for aerospace, automotive, and defense manufacturing supply chains. Imports in this NAICS category span lathes, milling machines, grinding equipment, and CNC machining centers, each potentially subject to distinct HTS classification and Section 232 trade-remedy exposure depending on construction and function. Buyers should verify whether specific equipment qualifies for duty exclusions or is subject to antidumping orders, as classification at the 10-digit HTS level can significantly affect landed cost.

Machine tools are classified under Chapter 84 or 84 of the HTS depending on their function — cutting, forming, or otherwise working metal. The specific 10-digit HTS line depends on the machine's operating principle (e.g., laser, EDM, mechanical cutting), so importers should work with a licensed customs broker to confirm the correct subheading before entry.
Certain machine tools and their components may be subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on country of origin, particularly imports from China. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have also applied to specific machine tool categories historically. Importers should conduct an origin and classification review prior to procurement.
