HS Code 8463.10 – Machine-tools; for working metal, sintered metal carbides or cermets, without removing material, draw-benches for bars, tubes, profiles, wire or the like
HS code 8463.10 is the 6-digit subheading for machine-tools, for working metal, sintered metal carbides or cermets, without removing material, draw-benches for bars, tubes, profiles, wire or the like. It is used for tube draw benches, bar draw benches, wire drawing machines, profile drawing machines and multi-strand draw benches.
What HS 8463.10 covers
This HS code specifically covers draw-benches, which are machine tools designed for cold-forming metal bars, tubes, profiles, or wire by pulling them through a die without removing material. This process significantly improves dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and mechanical properties of the metal. Draw-benches are vital for industries producing precision components, such as automotive, construction, and electrical wiring, where high-quality drawn products are essential. Exporters are typically specialized manufacturers in industrialized nations like Germany and Italy, and importers are those requiring high-quality, precisely formed metal products for their manufacturing processes.

Codes often confused with 8463.10
Common mistake. Can be confused with other metal forming machines under 8462 if the 'drawing' aspect isn't clearly understood, or with general metalworking machines under 846390 if not specifically identified as a draw-bench.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 846310, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 846310 in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 31% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was India, with 12% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).
