Cast Iron Machine Bed for CNC Lathes from Canada
This heavy-duty cast iron bed serves as the foundational base for CNC lathes under heading 8462, providing stability and precision during machining operations. It is machined only to remove casting imperfections and fins, not advanced further, qualifying it under HTS 8466.94.20.00 as a bed casting for lathe machines. Essential for aligning the headstock, tailstock, and carriage in high-precision turning.

Import Tips
• Verify the part is solely for heading 8462/8463 machines via manufacturer specs to avoid misclassification as general castings in 7325
• Include detailed engineering drawings showing minimal machining (only fin removal) to confirm eligibility for this low-duty subheading
• Check for steel content; if over 2% carbon, it remains cast iron, but alloy additions may shift to 8485 for generic machine parts
