Other machine tools for working metal or cermets, without removing material
Analysis
Heading 8463 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other machine tools for working metal or cermets, without removing material. It divides into 4 six-digit subheadings and 4 eight-digit tariff lines, with 12 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
None of its 4 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 4.4% to 4.4% with a median of 4.4%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
Its median rate of 4.4% sits at the 91st percentile of the headings in chapter 84.
The largest subheadings are 8463.10 (unnamed, 1 line), 8463.20 (unnamed, 1 line), 8463.30 (unnamed, 1 line) and 8463.90 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Rolling Mill and Other Metalworking Machinery Manufacturing (333519) and Machine Tool Manufacturing (333517). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
