SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of non-cnc drilling machines for metal (not elsewhere specified) (SITC 73143) totaled $4.9M in July 2026, traded with 25 countries.
Importers of Non-CNC Drilling Machines for Metal (Not Elsewhere Specified) paid $734K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $4.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Non-CNC Drilling Machines for Metal (Not Elsewhere Specified) imports of $4.9M in July 2026 ran 22% above the year-to-date monthly average of $4.0M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataRadial arm drills, sensitive bench drills, and multi-spindle drilling machines without numerical control fall into this residual SITC heading when they are not classifiable as way-type unit head machines. SITC 73143 serves as the catch-all for conventional metal-drilling equipment, making it important to confirm both the absence of CNC capability and the non-way-type construction before applying this code. These machines remain commercially relevant in job shops, maintenance facilities, and developing-market manufacturing environments where manual setup flexibility outweighs the throughput advantages of CNC equipment.

Yes, provided it is not a way-type unit head machine (which has its own heading at 73141). Multi-spindle drilling machines that lack numerical control and are designed for metal drilling classify in the residual non-CNC drilling machine heading 73143.
A digital readout provides positional feedback to the operator but does not constitute numerical control in the trade-classification sense. Machines with DRO only — where the operator still manually positions the spindle — generally remain in the non-CNC heading. However, if the machine has any axis servo-drive with programmable positioning, it may qualify as numerically controlled. Importers should obtain a clear technical specification from the manufacturer and confirm with a licensed customs broker.
