About HS Code 846269
This HS code covers cold metal working presses that are not hydraulic, mechanical, or servo-driven, serving as a residual category for specialized or less common press types. This can include pneumatic presses, toggle presses, or other unique press mechanisms used for specific forming, stamping, or assembly tasks where precision, speed, or force requirements differ from the main categories. Trade in these machines is often driven by niche industrial applications, supporting specialized manufacturing processes across various sectors. While volumes may be smaller than for mainstream presses, they are vital for particular production lines requiring unique deformation methods.
Products Under This Code
Pneumatic presses, toggle presses, arbor presses, manual presses, hand presses, screw presses (for cold working), bench presses
Real World Examples
Dake arbor presses, Enerpac pneumatic presses, Greenerd presses (specialized models), Schmidt Technology presses
Common Misclassification
These are often misclassified as mechanical presses (846262) or general metal forming machines under 846290 if their specific operating mechanism, such as pneumatic or toggle, is not clearly identified.
Products Classified Under 8462.69
Industry
This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.
Trade Overview
Trade is more fragmented, but industrialized nations like Germany, USA, and China both produce and consume these specialized presses.
