Metalworking machinery

Code 73 covers machines and equipment used in shaping, cutting, forming and finishing metal products, such as lathes, drill presses, metal-cutting saws, stamping and bending machines, as well as related accessories and spare parts. It excludes metalworking tools that are hand-operated or purely consumables. This category is part of the broader "Industrial machinery" group in the Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 4.
