About heading 8462

Machine tools (including presses) for working metal by forging, hammering or die forging (excluding rolling mills); machine tools (including presses, slitting lines and cut-to-length lines) for working metal by bending, folding, straightening, flattening, shearing, punching, notching or nibbling (excluding drawbenches); presses for working metal or metal carbides, not specified above

Heading 8462 covers machine tools that work metal without removing material: hot forging and die forging machines, bending, folding, straightening and flattening machines, shearing machines and slitting lines, punching and notching machines, tube and bar working machines, and cold metal presses. The heading splits first by machine type (forging, bending, shearing, punching, tube working, presses, other), then by whether the machine is numerically controlled, then by condition (used or rebuilt versus other) and by value. Almost every line in the heading carries a 4.4% general (MFN) rate.
