About HS Code 846225

This specific HS code identifies advanced machine-tools for working metal, focusing on numerically controlled (NC) roll forming machines, alongside other bending, folding, straightening, and flattening machines (including presses). These machines are indispensable for precision metal fabrication across critical industries such as automotive, construction, aerospace, and general manufacturing, enabling the creation of complex metal profiles and components. Importers are typically metal fabricators, automotive suppliers, and heavy machinery manufacturers seeking high-accuracy, automated, and efficient solutions. Exporters are specialized machine-tool builders, predominantly from technologically advanced nations. The trade emphasizes automation, precision, and efficiency, with a growing demand for machines capable of handling intricate geometries and high production volumes, reflecting the continuous evolution of manufacturing processes.

Products Under This Code

CNC roll forming machines, hydraulic press brakes, mechanical bending machines, plate straightening machines, sheet metal folders, panel benders, profile bending machines, tube bending machines.

Real World Examples

Trumpf TruBend machines, Amada press brakes, Salvagnini panel benders, Faccin plate rolls, Bradbury roll forming lines, Bystronic Xpert press brakes.

Common Misclassification

Can be confused with 846229 (other bending/folding machines not NC roll forming) if the 'numerically controlled roll forming' aspect is overlooked, or with 846260 (hydraulic presses for metal) if the specific bending/folding function isn't prioritized.
