U.S. imports of machine tools for working metals without material removal, n.e.s. (SITC 73399) totaled $8.6M in April 2026, traded with 26 countries.
Importers of Machine Tools for Working Metals Without Material Removal, N.E.S. paid $1.0M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $6.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Machine Tools for Working Metals Without Material Removal, N.E.S. imports of $8.6M in April 2026 ran 25% below the year-to-date monthly average of $11.4M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataServing as the residual catch-all for metal-forming machine tools that work without cutting or abrading — including bending, folding, straightening, flattening, and similar operations — this heading captures equipment that does not fit more specific categories for presses, punching machines, or rolling mills. Sintered metal carbides and cermets are explicitly included as workpiece materials, reflecting the heading's relevance to hard-metal component manufacturing. Because it is an 'N.E.S.' category, correct use requires systematically ruling out all more specific SITC headings before applying it.

The 'not elsewhere specified' designation means 73399 applies only after confirming the machine does not fit a named heading — such as presses (73318), punching machines (73317), draw-benches (73391), thread rollers (73393), or wire-working machines (73395). If the machine's primary function matches any of those descriptions, the specific heading takes precedence.
No — the SITC heading explicitly includes machines for working sintered metal carbides and cermets alongside conventional metals, so the workpiece material alone does not change the classification. What matters is the process (non-material-removing forming) and the absence of a more specific heading.
