Product classification
HS code for Servo stamping press: 8462.63
Machine-tools, cold metal working presses, servo-presses.
Classification of servo stamping press under HS 8462.63
A servo stamping press is classified under HS code 8462.63. This classification falls within Chapter 84, which covers machinery and mechanical appliances. Heading 8462 specifically addresses machine tools for working metal by forging, hammering, or die-stamping, as well as presses for working metal. Following the 2022 updates to the Harmonized System, the classification of presses became more granular to reflect technological advancements. The code 8462.63 is designated for servo-presses. Unlike traditional mechanical presses that use a flywheel or hydraulic presses that use fluid power, a servo-press utilizes a high-torque servo motor to drive the ram. This allows for precise control over the stroke, speed, and pressure throughout the stamping process. The classification is determined by the machine's primary function (cold metal working) and its drive mechanism (servo-driven). It is essential to distinguish these from other types of presses to ensure correct duty application and regulatory compliance.

Codes often confused with 8462.63
Common mistake. Servo stamping presses are often misclassified under 8462.62, which is the code for hydraulic presses, or 8462.61, which is for mechanical presses that do not utilize servo technology. Another common error is 8462.10, which covers forging or die-stamping machines that are not specifically presses. It is critical to identify the drive system; if the machine uses a servo motor to control the ram movement directly, 8462.63 is the only correct code.
Top exporters and importers of HS 846263 (the code used for servo stamping press), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 846263 (the code used for servo stamping press) in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 34% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 17% 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).

Questions about servo stamping press
What is the HS code for Servo stamping press?
The HS code for Servo stamping press is 846263 (Machine-tools; cold metal working presses, servo-presses). The specific HS code for a servo-driven press used for cold metal working is 8462.63.
How do I classify Servo stamping press for customs?
Servo stamping press is classified under HS code 846263 — Machine-tools; cold metal working presses, servo-presses. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
Does this code include hydraulic servo presses?
If the press is primarily hydraulic but uses a servo-valve for control, it may still fall under 8462.62. Code 8462.63 is specifically intended for presses where the primary drive is a servo motor.
Which countries are the top exporters of servo stamping press (HS 846263)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 846263 (the code used for servo stamping press) in UN Comtrade data were Germany ($127M, 34% of world exports), Japan ($101M) and China ($42M). World exports came to about $379M, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
