About HS Code 846259

This category includes non-numerically controlled (non-NC) machine tools for working tube, pipe, hollow sections, and bar, excluding presses. These machines are essential for bending, cutting, and forming metal profiles in workshops, small to medium-sized fabrication facilities, and construction sites where manual or semi-automatic operation is sufficient. They are widely used in general fabrication, plumbing, structural steelwork, and custom manufacturing. Importers are often countries with developing industrial bases or those requiring more economical and less complex metalworking solutions for tubular and bar stock. Exporters typically include countries with established machine tool manufacturing, offering robust and reliable conventional machines. Key considerations include versatility, ease of use, durability, and the ability to handle various material sizes and shapes.

Products Under This Code

Manual Tube Benders, Hydraulic Pipe Bending Machines, Mechanical Bar Benders, Abrasive Saw Cut-off Machines, Roll Benders for Profiles, Section Bending Machines, Ring Rolling Machines

Real World Examples

Ercolina Tube Benders, Baileigh Industrial Pipe Benders, BendPak Tube Benders, Ridgid Pipe Benders, Promau Section Benders

Common Misclassification

Frequently confused with 846251 (NC machines for tube/pipe/bar) due to similar application but lacking numerical control. It can also be mistaken for 846229 (NC bending machines for flat products) if the "tube/pipe/bar" distinction is missed.
