HS Code 846249

HS code 846249 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Machine tools (including presses) for working metal by forging, hammering or diestamping; machine tools (including presses) for working metal by bending, folding, straightening, flattening, shearing, punching or notching; presses for working metal or metal carbides, not specified above : Punching or notching machines (including presses), including combined punching and shearing machines : Other". The first two digits (84) are the chapter — Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts — and digits 3-4 (8462) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 846249 include punching machine, notching machine, punch press, combined punch and shear, CNC punch, turret punch and similar items matching punching or notching machines. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (846249) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
