8429.19.00.90 - Used or rebuilt

This HTS category, 8429.19.00.90, specifically covers used or rebuilt bulldozers and angledozers. It encompasses machinery that has been previously utilized in construction, excavation, or land-clearing operations and has subsequently undergone repair, refurbishment, or rebuilding to restore it to a functional state. The emphasis here is on the condition of the machinery – it is no longer new and has been subjected to some form of reconditioning.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 8429.19.00.10, which exclusively covers new bulldozers and angledozers. The key differentiator is the operational history and the state of the machinery. While both categories pertain to bulldozers and angledozers, 8429.19.00.90 is reserved for equipment that has passed through its initial lifecycle and has been brought back into service through significant maintenance or overhaul.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification is determined solely by the condition of the bulldozer or bulldozer – specifically, whether it is used or rebuilt. Importers must ensure that the machinery they are declaring meets the criteria for being used or rebuilt, as opposed to being in its original, unused condition, to accurately apply this HTS code.
