WCO Notes for Heading 8463

84.63 ‑ Other machine‑tools for working metal or cermets, without removing material.

8463.10 ‑ Draw‑benches for bars, tubes, profiles, wire or the like

8463.20 ‑ Thread rolling machines

8463.30 ‑ Machines for working wire

8463.90 ‑ Other

With the exception of the machine‑tools of heading 84.62, this heading covers machine‑tools which work metal or cermets, without removing material.

In general machine‑tools are power‑driven but similar machines, worked by hand or pedal, are also covered by this heading. These latter types can be distinguished from the hand tools of heading 82.05 and from the tools for working in the hand of heading 84.67, by the fact that they are usually designed to be mounted on the floor, on a bench, on a wall or on another machine, and are thus usually provided with a base plate, mounting frame, stand, etc.

The heading includes :

(1) Drawing machines (draw benches), for the bright‑drawing of bars, tubes, shapes, sections, wire or similar products.

(2) Thread rolling machines in which the threads on bolts or screws are obtained by rolling and pressing and not by cutting.

(3) Machines for working wire e.g., for manufacturing wire goods such as springs, barbed wire, chains, pins, wire nails or staples, and hooks. The heading also covers machines which, being of a kind specially designed for making wire grill or netting, differ from the ordinary textile weaving loom both as regards their method of operation and their constituent parts. Assembly looms using precrimped wire are excluded (heading 84.79, etc.).

Machinery for making ropes or stranded cables of metal wire or of mixed textile and wire is also excluded (heading 84.79).

(4) Machines for spiralling fine metal wire in the manufacture of electric lamp filaments.

(5) Riveting machines apart from presses of heading 84.62.

(6) Swaging machines, in which tubes or bars are forced through rotating dies to reduce the diameter.

(7) Spinning lathes. These machines differ from those of heading 84.58 by the fact that they operate by deforming the metal.

(8) Machines for manufacturing flexible tubes of spiral metal strip.

(9) Electro‑magnetic‑pulse metal‑forming machines (or magneto‑forming machines), using the force of a magnetic flux to shape, without removing any material, a metal workpiece, usually tubular, with the aid of a die.

PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

Subject to the general provisions regarding the classification of parts (see the General Explanatory Note to Section XVI), parts and accessories (other than the tools of Chapter 82) of the machine‑tools of this heading are classified in heading 84.66.

* *

The heading also excludes :

(a) Hand tools (heading 82.05).

(b) Banding machines for banding bales, machines for closing cans or other containers (heading 84.22).

(c) Machining centres, unit construction machines (single station) and multi‑station transfer machines, for working metal (heading 84.57).

(d) Tools for working in the hand, pneumatic, hydraulic or with self‑contained electric or non‑electric motor (heading 84.67).

(e) Testing machines and apparatus (heading 90.24).

FAQs

What is HS code 8463?

HS code 8463 includes Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof - Other machine-tools for working metal or cermets, without removing material..

How many sub-headings are there in HS code 8463?

There are 4 sub-heading(s) in HS code 8463.

What is an HS Code and Why Does it Hold For Cross-Border Trade?

HS code is a standardized six-digit numerical classification system developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) and acts as a universal language for simplifying the process of identifying and classifying traded products. They ensure consistent customs clearance, enable accurate duty calculation, and help identify relevant trade regulations. This simplifies the process for businesses, saving time, reducing risk, and promoting informed decision-making.

What are Controls and Why should Businesses Focus on Them?

In global trade, controls refer to a set of regulations and policies implemented by governments to manage the import and export of goods and services. These controls can take various forms, including tariffs, quotas, embargoes, export controls, and licensing requirements. Companies should prioritize understanding and adhering to them for compliance, reduced risk of legal issues, mitigating reputational damage, staying competitive, and building trust with governments.

What are Tariffs in Global Trade and Why should Businesses Focus on Them?

In global trade, tariffs are a type of tax levied by a government on imported goods. They act as a financial barrier to entry, increasing the overall cost of the imported product for domestic consumers and businesses. By understanding how tariffs work and their potential impact, companies can make informed decisions about pricing, sourcing, and market expansion, ultimately ensuring their competitiveness in the global marketplace.

What are FTAs in Global Trade and Why should Businesses Focus on Them?

In global trade, Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) are legally binding agreements between two or more countries aimed at reducing or eliminating barriers to trade between them. By understanding the terms of relevant FTAs and strategically incorporating them into their business plans, companies can enjoy reduced costs, expanded market access, and a more competitive edge in international trade.
