Overview

This HTS classification, 8429.52.50.90, specifically covers "Used or rebuilt" mechanical shovels, excavators, and shovel loaders that feature a 360-degree revolving superstructure. These are heavy construction machines designed for digging, lifting, and loading materials, characterized by their ability to rotate the upper structure independently of the undercarriage. The "used or rebuilt" designation indicates that these machines have been previously operated and have undergone maintenance, repair, or refurbishment.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8429.52.50.10, which covers "New" machinery. The key differentiator here is the operational history and condition of the machinery. While both classifications fall under mechanical shovels, excavators, and shovel loaders with a 360-degree revolving superstructure, 8429.52.50.90 applies to equipment that is not in its original, unused state. Classification decisions will hinge on verifiable records or assessments of the machine's prior use and its current state of repair.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 8429.52.50.90. Therefore, the primary focus for classification under this code is accurately determining that the machinery fits the description of a mechanical shovel, excavator, or shovel loader with a 360-degree revolving superstructure and that it has been previously used or rebuilt. Specific examples of machinery that would fall under this category include older models of excavators or shovel loaders that have been returned to a functional state for resale or continued operation, as opposed to brand-new units.
