HTS 8460 — Machine tools for deburring and grinding metal Tariff Rate (2026)

HTS heading 8460 covers machine tools for deburring and grinding metal, entering the United States at a 4.4% MFN duty rate. Machine tools for deburring, sharpening, grinding, honing, and lapping metal. Precision finishing equipment. On top of the MFN rate, most non-EU imports under this heading carry the Section 301 forced-labor tariff — a two-tier 10%/12.5% duty that replaced the flat 10% Section 122 rate on July 24, 2026. EU-origin goods instead fall under the EU-US trade deal's 15% all-inclusive ceiling (effective July 1, 2026), where nothing stacks and goods with an MFN rate of 15% or more pay MFN only. Chinese-origin goods add a Section 301 China tariff of 25% on top. Worked example: a $10,000 shipment under HTS 8460 owes about $440 in MFN duty (4.4%); adding the 10% base forced-labor surcharge brings it to roughly $1,440 from a standard-tier origin, or about $1,690 from a 12.5%-tier origin such as China (before that origin's Section 301 China tariff).
