HS Code 8458.19 – Lathes; for removing metal, horizontal, other than numerically controlled
HS code 8458.19 is the 6-digit subheading for lathes, for removing metal, horizontal, other than numerically controlled. It is used for manual horizontal lathe, engine lathe, conventional horizontal lathe, bench lathe and toolroom lathe.
What HS 8458.19 covers
This category encompasses horizontal lathes used for removing metal that are operated manually or through conventional, non-NC/CNC controls. These machines, while less automated than their numerically controlled counterparts, are still fundamental tools in workshops, vocational training centers, and for low-volume, custom, or repair work where the flexibility of manual operation is preferred or sufficient. They perform the same basic turning, facing, boring, and threading operations by rotating a workpiece against a cutting tool, with the main spindle oriented horizontally. Industries involved in general fabrication, repair and maintenance, small-scale manufacturing, and educational institutions are typical users. Importers often include developing nations or regions with less emphasis on high-volume automation, while exporters are established machine tool manufacturers, sometimes specializing in robust, simpler designs. Their lower cost and ease of maintenance make them accessible for a wider range of users.

Codes often confused with 8458.19
Common mistake. Easily confused with 845811 (horizontal NC lathes) or 845899 (other non-NC lathes), but 845819 is distinct for being horizontal and explicitly *not* numerically controlled.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 845819, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 845819 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 39% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 15% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
