About HS Code 846029
This HS code covers grinding machines (excluding flat-surface types) that operate without numerical control. This broad category includes a variety of traditional or semi-automatic grinding machines, such as manual cylindrical grinders, internal grinders, and universal grinders, used for shaping and finishing non-flat workpieces. These machines are commonly found in smaller workshops, vocational training centers, and manufacturing environments where high-volume automation is not the primary requirement, but precision and versatility are still important. Importers often include developing economies or smaller manufacturing firms looking for cost-effective and reliable grinding solutions, while exporters are typically countries with established industrial machinery production.
Products Under This Code
Manual cylindrical grinder, Manual centerless grinder, Manual internal grinder, Universal tool grinder, Bench grinder (industrial), Pedestal grinder
Real World Examples
Myford MG12, Jones & Shipman 1300, Cincinnati Milacron OM, K.O. Lee B600, Clausing 1600
Common Misclassification
Frequently confused with 846019 (non-CNC flat-surface grinders) if the surface type isn't clearly defined, or with 846022/846023/846024 if the machine has some automation but isn't fully 'numerically controlled.'
Products Classified Under 8460.29
Industry
This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.
Trade Overview
