How to Reduce HTS8459 Tariffs for OEM Mill Drill Machines & Metal Cutting Bandsaws

How to Reduce HTS8459 Tariffs for OEM Mill Drill Machines & Metal Cutting Bandsaws

Increased tariffs on OEM mill drill machines and metal cutting bandsaws imported into the US under the HTS8459 category are a big headache for many established brands, and new brands looking to enter the workshop machinery markets. Taiwan has Most Favored Nation status for HTS8459 and our combination of high quality, globally certified, engineering and reduced tariff costs make Rong Fu metal cutting bandsaws and mill drill machines even better value than ever before in the competitive global market.

Look for a manufacturing partner with low tariffs for workshop machinery

If you are struggling with 30% tariffs on US imports of OEM metal cutting bandsaws and mill drill machines under the HTS8459 tariff regulations, then you are going to be looking for ways to reduce the impact of these tariffs on your sales margins. The obvious solution is to look for a manufacturing partner who is not subject to the higher rate tariffs.

  • Look to reduce HTS8459 tariff charges
  • Avoid the risk of GSP country manufacturing
  • WTO MFN status is not risk-free for tariff avoidance
  • Strong reciprocal trade agreements offer more protection

GSP countries are a risky option for OEM metal cutting bandsaw & mill drill manufacturing

You can try and source your OEM brand products from a Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) country, but these are all developing nations, or nations undergoing physical or economic stress, often with significant supply chain difficulties and a lack of up to date manufacturing technology and systems. This makes GSP countries a risky option when you are trying to compete with high quality, advanced machinery manufacturers in global markets. 

WTO MFN status may reduce tariffs on workshop machinery

You want to have access to high quality, reliable, globally certified metal cutting bandsaws and mill drill machines that you can safely distribute into national and international markets without risking your brand reputation. One option is to identify a country that has WTO Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status for tariffs, but also has a history of high quality engineering, efficient manufacturing, and robust supply chains. However, even this is not a guarantee of avoiding the sudden changes in tariffs we have seen recently.

Taiwan has a robust reciprocal trade agreement with the US that reduces HTS8459 tariffs

Taiwan has a robust reciprocal trade agreement with the US that reduces HTS8459 tariffs 

The US-Taiwan agreement on reciprocal trade is a robust mechanism that offers significantly lower tariffs than the levels that are being applied to most developed countries that are trading partners with the US. This is the first reason why Taiwan is a good option as a manufacturing location for your mill drill and bandsaw OEM brand. There are several other reasons why you should also choose Taiwan.

  • Taiwan has reduced HTS8459 tariffs with a strong reciprocal trade agreement
  • Taiwan offers globally recognized engineering & manufacturing expertise
  • Excellent supply chain logistics increases manufacturing and distribution efficiency
  • Taiwanese business ethics & values make excellent business partnerships

Taiwan has engineering expertise & excellent supply chain logistics

Taiwan is a global center of engineering and manufacturing expertise, and also has excellent supply chain logistics both for high quality raw materials and for shipping finished products to anywhere in the world. The concentration of engineering expertise in clusters of modern manufacturing businesses around Taichung and Taipei significantly increases manufacturing efficiency and streamlines production, as all components and specialized parts can be sourced locally from dependable suppliers.

Vertically integrated Taiwanese workshop machinery companies are a reliable choice

Alongside the availability of high quality materials and components, Taiwanese companies, like Rong Fu, are often vertically integrated businesses, securely founded on long-term family interests and investments. This tends to build in-house expertise in design, engineering and manufacturing that they have developed over many years, or in the case of Rong Fu, over many decades of serving our global mill drill and bandsaw clients.
