Definition and scope of subheading 846599

Subheading 846599 of the Combined Nomenclature covers other machine tools for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics or similar hard materials, not classified under subheadings 846591 to 846596. This category includes wood lathes, wood gluing machines, veneering and laminating presses, edge banding machines for furniture panels, nailing and stapling machines for wood, glue application machines, and other specialised woodworking machines. Subheading 846599 serves as a residual subheading for woodworking machines that do not qualify as saws, planers, grinders, benders, drills or splitters. Classification requires analysis of the machine's principal function. Metal working machines belong to headings 8456-8463 and stone working machines to heading 8464. Classification follows the General Rules for the Interpretation of the CN. For borderline cases, Binding Tariff Information ruling is recommended.

Import requirements and regulations for subheading 846599

Importing machines under subheading 846599 into the European Union requires compliance with the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230. Woodworking machine tools must bear CE marking, be accompanied by an EU Declaration of Conformity, and include operating instructions in the official language of the destination country. The manufacturer must carry out a conformity assessment including risk assessment in accordance with EN ISO 12100. Harmonised standards include EN ISO 19085 series. Machines generating wood dust must be equipped with or allow connection to dust extraction systems. Veneering presses with heating systems may require additional compliance with thermal safety regulations. Machines using adhesives and resins may be subject to REACH chemical substance regulations. The importer must hold an EORI number and submit a customs declaration.

Customs duties and trade measures for subheading 846599

MFN customs duty rates for machines under subheading 846599 should be verified in the current TARIC database of the European Commission. Woodworking machine tools may benefit from autonomous tariff suspensions established by the EU Council. Preferential duty rates may be available under EU free trade agreements. The condition for applying a preferential rate is compliance with rules of origin and presentation of a valid proof of origin. Imports of woodworking machines from China, Taiwan and Italy constitute a significant share of EU imports. Imports from China may be subject to trade measures. Imports from Russia and Belarus are subject to EU sanctions restrictions. Import VAT is charged at the national rate. All current customs duties should be verified in TARIC.

Woodworking machine safety and importing CN 8465 99

Other woodworking machines under CN 8465 99 are subject to specific safety requirements due to material kickback and cutting tool contact risks. Standards EN 859-EN 861 (planers), EN 1870 (circular saws) and EN 848 (moulding machines) specify requirements for guards, brakes and wood dust extraction. The Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 requires CE marking and user instructions in the destination language. Wood dust is a carcinogenic agent (Directive 2004/37/EC) - machines must have effective dust extraction systems.
