## How it is structured

8459.70 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 84, are the chapter; the first four, 8459, are heading 84.59; the last two, 70, identify the subheading within the heading.

Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.

- Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof
- Heading 84.59: Machine-tools (including way-type unit head machines) for drilling, boring, milling, threading or tapping by removing metal, other than lathes (including turning centres) of heading 84.58
- Subheading 8459.70: Other threading or tapping machines

## In other countries

No national tariff lines under 8459.70 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 8459.70 at six digits and add their own digits after it.

- Previous subheading: [8459.69](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/845969) Other milling machines: Other
- Next subheading: [8460.12](https://staging.border.bot/hs-codes/846012) Flat-surface grinding machines: Numerically controlled
