Goods answering to “Lathes for removing metal” split into 4 six-digit codes, 845811 through 845899. Each one carries its own customs description, and the exact wording below is what a classification has to match. The heading is number 58 of 86 in Chapter 84, Machinery and mechanical appliances, boilers, nuclear reactors; parts thereof, which runs to 538 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 8458
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 845811 | Lathes; for removing metal, horizontal, numerically controlled |
| 845819 | Lathes; for removing metal, horizontal, other than numerically controlled |
| 845891 | Lathes; for removing metal, numerically controlled, other than horizontal lathes |
| 845899 | Lathes; for removing metal, other than horizontal or numerically controlled lathes |
What HS code 8458 covers
A lathe holds a piece of metal and spins it while a cutting tool shapes it. Customs uses it for the whole machine, so a small metal lathe and a big CNC lathe both start here.
Some countries call the same four-digit number the HSN code. If you see HSN code 8458 on an invoice, it points to the same group of goods.
The heading is part of Chapter 84 machinery, right beside other machine tools. Those neighbours matter. Many machines look like lathes but are classified somewhere else.
Numerically controlled lathes: how to pick the 8458 subheading
Two questions decide the code. Is the lathe horizontal? Is it numerically controlled? Numerically controlled means a stored program steers the machine. Most buyers call these CNC lathes.
Answer both questions, then match the result to one code:
- 845811: horizontal and numerically controlled. This is where a horizontal CNC lathe belongs.
- A manual horizontal lathe fits here.
- 845899: all other lathes. They are neither horizontal nor numerically controlled.
Machine tools for removing metal that are not under 8458
Customs classification follows the wording of each heading. A machine that cuts metal is not always a lathe. These headings are the ones people mix up with 8458:
- 8459: drilling, boring, milling, threading or tapping machines. Its text says these are other than the lathes of 8458.
- 8456: machine tools that work material with laser, ultrasonic, electro-discharge, plasma and similar processes, plus water-jet cutting machines.
- 8460: machines that deburr, sharpen, grind, hone, lap or polish metal.
- 8466: parts and accessories for machines of headings 8456 to 8465, including work holders and tool holders.
