What HS code 8464 covers
Heading 8464 is for machine tools that work hard mineral materials. Think of a stone cutting saw, a tile grinder or a machine that polishes marble. It also takes machines for cold working glass, which means shaping glass without melting it.
The heading sits in Section XVI, the part of the tariff for machinery and electrical equipment. Inside Chapter 84 machinery, it is the home of stone working machinery and ceramic machine tools. Its wording also names asbestos-cement and like mineral materials, so the same rules apply to them. Some buyers search for it as HSN code 8464. It is the same heading.
How to choose between 846410, 846420 and 846490
Ask one question: what does the machine do to the material? The operation decides the code. The material only tells you that you are in heading 8464.
- 846410 is for sawing machines. A concrete cutting machine or a stone saw goes here.
- 846420 is for grinding or polishing machines. Glass edge grinders and marble polishing machines go here.
- 846490 is for every other machine tool for these materials, meaning any machine that does something other than sawing, grinding or polishing.
