HS Code 8462.63 – Machine-tools; cold metal working presses, servo-presses
HS code 8462.63 is the 6-digit subheading for machine-tools, cold metal working presses, servo-presses. It is used for servo stamping presses, direct-drive servo presses, link-motion servo presses, hybrid servo presses and high-speed servo presses.
What HS 8462.63 covers
This category encompasses servo-presses for cold metal working, representing a significant advancement in press technology. Unlike traditional mechanical or hydraulic presses, servo-presses utilize servo motors to control the ram's motion, offering unparalleled flexibility, precision, and energy efficiency. This allows for complex forming operations, optimized stroke profiles, and reduced noise. They are critical for high-precision manufacturing in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and medical devices, where intricate parts and high quality are paramount. Exporters are typically high-tech manufacturing nations, and importers are industries seeking cutting-edge production capabilities to enhance competitiveness.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
