Common questions
- What is HTS code 8459?
- HTS heading 8459 covers machine tools (including way-type unit head machines) for drilling, boring, milling, threading or tapping by removing metal, other than lathes (including turning centers) of heading 8458. It sits in Chapter 84 (machinery and mechanical appliances) of the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule and contains 41 tariff lines.
- What is the duty rate for HTS 8459?
- General duty rates from 3.3% to 4.2%. The general rate applies to most-favoured-nation trading partners; goods from countries with a free trade agreement may qualify for a reduced or duty-free special rate.
- How many digits does a full HTS code have?
- US import entries require the full 10-digit HTS code. Heading 8459 is the first four digits — the remaining six narrow it down to the specific product, which is what determines the duty rate you actually pay.
