8429.30.00.60 - Used or rebuilt

This HTS category, specifically HTS 8429.30.00.60, pertains to used or rebuilt scrapers. Scrapers are earthmoving machines designed for excavating and transporting large quantities of material over relatively short distances. They typically feature a projecting blade that cuts into the ground, a body to hold the excavated material, and a mechanism for discharging the load. The classification under "Used or rebuilt" indicates that these machines are not new and have undergone previous use or refurbishment.

The primary distinction for this category lies in its specific designation for *used or rebuilt* equipment. Its sibling, though not explicitly detailed here but implied by the "New:" sibling, would cover new scrapers. Therefore, the crucial factor for classification here is the condition of the machine – whether it has been previously operated and is now being imported in a used state or has been repaired and rebuilt to restore its functionality.

As a leaf node, HTS 8429.30.00.60 does not have further subcategories. Classification is determined solely by identifying the machine as a scraper and confirming its status as either used or rebuilt. This contrasts with broader categories within Chapter 84, which may subdivide based on power source, specific functionalities, or intended applications. For import/export purposes, confirming the operational condition and any relevant documentation regarding its rebuilt status is paramount for accurate declaration.
