About HS Code 846262
This HS code covers mechanical presses used for cold working metal, a fundamental process in modern manufacturing. These machines apply force through a mechanical linkage to stamp, form, or blank metal sheets and parts without heating the material. They are indispensable in industries like automotive, appliance manufacturing, and electronics for producing high volumes of consistent components. Major exporters are industrialized nations with strong machinery sectors, such as Germany, Japan, and China, while importers include countries with expanding manufacturing bases, like Mexico, India, and various Southeast Asian nations. Key considerations in trade involve press tonnage, automation levels, and the precision capabilities required for specific applications.
Products Under This Code
Stamping presses, forming presses, blanking presses, coining presses, deep drawing presses, transfer presses, high-speed mechanical presses
Real World Examples
Schuler mechanical presses, AIDA stamping presses, Komatsu mechanical presses, Seyi mechanical presses
Common Misclassification
These are often confused with hydraulic presses (which would fall under a different 8462.6x code if specified, or 8462.90) due to similar functions, but their mechanical drive system is the distinguishing factor. They can also be mistaken for servo-presses (846263).
Products Classified Under 8462.62
Industry
This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.
Trade Overview
Germany, Japan, and China are leading exporters, while the USA, Mexico, and Southeast Asian countries are significant importers.
