Importers of Non-Horizontal, Non-CNC Lathes for Metal Removal paid $121K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 13.25% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Non-Horizontal, Non-CNC Lathes for Metal Removal imports of $914K in August 2026 ran 43% above the year-to-date monthly average of $639K.
Last updated: August 2026 dataClassified outside the horizontal and numerically controlled lathe categories, these specialty lathes serve niche metalworking applications such as vertical turning, gap-bed, and toolroom configurations where manual or semi-automatic control is preferred. The SITC heading 73139 captures the residual population of metal-removing lathes not elsewhere specified, making correct classification dependent on confirming the machine's axis orientation and control type. Importers should verify whether the unit qualifies as horizontal or CNC, as misclassification into this residual heading can affect duty treatment and trade-statistics reporting.

SITC 73139 is a residual category: if the lathe is horizontal, it belongs in the horizontal lathe heading; if it is numerically controlled, it belongs in the CNC lathe heading. Only lathes that are neither horizontal nor numerically controlled — such as vertical or toolroom lathes with manual or semi-automatic control — are classified here.
Metal-cutting machine tools from certain origins have historically been subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders. Importers should check current CBP and Commerce Department orders for the specific country of origin before entry, as coverage can vary by machine type and supplier.
