About HS Code 846390
This is a residual HS code for metalworking machine tools that operate without removing material, but are not specifically classified as draw-benches (846310), thread rolling machines (846320), or wire working machines (846330). This broad category can include machines for cold heading, riveting, metal spinning, roll forming, or other specialized forming processes. Trade in these machines often caters to niche manufacturing requirements, supporting industries that need specific deformation processes for metal components, such as fastener production, aerospace, or specialized fabrication. Exporters and importers are typically countries with diverse industrial bases.
Products Under This Code
Cold heading machines, riveting machines, metal spinning machines, roll forming machines (for profiles), orbital riveting machines, tube end forming machines, forging machines (cold)
Real World Examples
Hatebur cold formers, BalTec riveting machines, Leifeld metal spinning machines, Fives roll forming lines, SMT tube end formers
Common Misclassification
As an 'n.e.c.' code, it's frequently misclassified with more specific metal forming machines under 8462 (e.g., presses) or even other non-material-removing machines within 8463 if the specific function isn't clearly defined.
Products Classified Under 8463.90
Industry
This code belongs to the Electronics & Electrical Equipment industry.
Trade Overview
Germany, USA, and China are key players in both manufacturing and importing these specialized metal forming machines.
