About HS Code 846261

This HS code specifically covers hydraulic presses used for cold metal working. These powerful machines apply immense force to shape, form, stamp, or assemble metal components without heating the material to its recrystallization temperature. They are indispensable in a vast array of industries, including automotive, appliance manufacturing, aerospace, and general metal stamping and forming. Importers are typically countries with robust manufacturing sectors that require high-tonnage, precise forming capabilities. Exporters are often nations with advanced heavy machinery and automation industries. Key characteristics include tonnage capacity, bed size, stroke length, and the ability to perform deep drawing, blanking, or coining operations with high efficiency and accuracy.

Products Under This Code

Hydraulic Stamping Presses, Deep Drawing Presses, Hydraulic Forming Presses, Coining Presses, Blanking Presses, Assembly Presses, Straightening Presses

Real World Examples
