About HS Code 846019

This HS code covers flat-surface grinding machines that operate without numerical control. These traditional machine tools are crucial for achieving high precision and fine surface finishes on flat metal workpieces. They are widely used in industries such as tool and die making, automotive component manufacturing, and general engineering, where flatness and parallelism are critical. Importers typically include manufacturing facilities, job shops, and repair centers in various industrial sectors, seeking reliable and robust machinery for precision finishing. Exporters are often countries with established machine tool manufacturing capabilities, providing durable equipment for a range of applications. Key considerations for trade include machine size, grinding capacity, and the level of manual or hydraulic automation.

Products Under This Code

Manual surface grinder, Hydraulic surface grinder, Rotary table surface grinder, Reciprocating table surface grinder, Creep feed surface grinder, Double disc surface grinder

Real World Examples

Common Misclassification

This code can be confused with 846029 (other non-CNC grinding machines) if the 'flat-surface' aspect is not strictly defined, or with 846012 (numerically controlled flat-surface grinders) if the level of automation is unclear.
