U.S. imports of multistation transfer machines for working metal (SITC 73123) totaled $20.4M in July 2026, traded with 14 countries.
Importers of Multistation Transfer Machines for Working Metal paid $668K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 3.3% on $20.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Multistation Transfer Machines for Working Metal imports of $20.4M in July 2026 ran 166% above the year-to-date monthly average of $7.7M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataMultistation transfer machines automatically move workpieces through a series of fixed machining stations in sequence, enabling high-throughput production of complex metal components — most notably automotive engine blocks, cylinder heads, and transmission housings — with minimal manual intervention. The integrated, line-specific nature of these systems means they are often custom-engineered, making valuation and classification at entry more complex than for standard catalog equipment. Importers should be prepared to provide detailed engineering drawings and station-by-station process descriptions to support CBP classification review.

Custom-engineered transfer machines are typically valued on a transaction-value basis using the invoice price, but CBP may scrutinize related-party transactions or contracts that bundle engineering, installation, and training services. Importers should clearly separate the dutiable value of the machine from non-dutiable services in their commercial documentation.
A multistation transfer machine is characterized by an integrated workpiece-transfer mechanism linking all stations as a unified system. Manufacturer documentation showing the integrated transfer mechanism, common control architecture, and system-level design intent is key evidence for classification as a single transfer machine rather than multiple individual machines.
