About HS Code 846320
This category includes thread rolling machines, specialized machine tools that form threads on metal workpieces by cold deformation, rather than cutting. This process results in stronger, more precise threads with improved surface finish and material grain structure. Thread rolling machines are essential for high-volume fastener manufacturing, automotive components, and aerospace parts, where thread integrity and reliability are critical. Key exporters are countries with advanced manufacturing capabilities, such as Germany, Italy, and Taiwan, and importers are industries requiring high-volume, high-quality threaded components for assembly and construction.
Products Under This Code

Real World Examples
Videx thread rolling machines, Waterbury Farrel thread rollers, National Machinery thread rollers, Tesker thread rolling machines
Common Misclassification
Often confused with thread cutting machines, which fall under heading 8459, due to similar end-products, but the non-material-removing cold forming process is the key distinction.
Products Classified Under 8463.20
Industry
This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.
Trade Overview
Germany, Italy, and Taiwan are major producers and exporters, serving global fastener and automotive industries.
