SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of numerically controlled grinding machines (nes, ≥0.01 mm accuracy) (SITC 73163) totaled $34.1M in July 2026, traded with 21 countries.
Importers of Numerically Controlled Grinding Machines (NES, ≥0.01 mm Accuracy) paid $2.8M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $26.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Numerically Controlled Grinding Machines (NES, ≥0.01 mm Accuracy) imports of $34.1M in July 2026 ran 35% above the year-to-date monthly average of $25.3M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataCNC grinding machines classified here combine programmable multi-axis control with a positioning accuracy of at least 0.01 mm, placing them among the higher-precision segments of the metalworking machine tool trade. The NES qualifier means these are grinding machines not captured by more specific headings — such as flat-surface or cylindrical grinders — making the classification a residual catch-all for specialized geometries including profile, gear, and thread grinders. Section 301 tariff exposure is a live concern for machines sourced from China, and importers should confirm current product coverage before contracting.

Profile grinders, gear grinders, thread grinders, and other specialized geometries that do not fit the flat-surface or cylindrical grinder headings are the most common candidates. If a machine's grinding action is defined by a complex programmed path rather than a simple planar or cylindrical motion, it is more likely to land in this residual NES category.
Yes. Origin is critical: machines manufactured in China may carry Section 301 tariff liability in addition to the standard MFN duty. Machines from countries with US free-trade agreements may receive preferential treatment, but origin must be substantiated with appropriate documentation such as a certificate of origin or manufacturer's declaration.
