About heading 8461

Machine tools for planing, shaping, slotting, broaching, gear cutting, gear grinding or gear finishing, sawing, cutting-off and other machine tools working by removing metal or cermets, not elsewhere specified or included

Heading 8461 covers machine tools that cut metal or cermets by removing material and are not named in another heading, such as planing, shaping, slotting, broaching, gear cutting, gear grinding or finishing, sawing and cutting-off machines. The heading is split first by machine type (shaping and slotting, broaching, gear cutting and gear finishing, sawing and cutting-off, then other) and then by control type, condition and value. Numerically controlled and non-numerically controlled machines sit in separate subheadings, and used or rebuilt machines and low-value machines often get their own lines.
