8429.59.50.80 - Used or rebuilt

This classification pertains to used or rebuilt mechanical shovels, excavators, and shovel loaders that do not fall under any more specific HTS subheadings within the "Other" category. It specifically addresses equipment that has undergone refurbishment or is being imported in a pre-owned condition. The defining characteristic here is the condition of the machinery; the classification is triggered by the fact that the equipment is not new.

Unlike its sibling category, which covers new mechanical shovels, excavators, and shovel loaders, this category is exclusively for previously used or rebuilt machinery. The distinction is critical for duty assessment and trade statistics. The scope is limited to equipment that has had prior service, irrespective of the extent of repair or reconditioning.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under 8429.59.50.80 relies on identifying that the mechanical shovel, excavator, or shovel loader is not new and does not fit into any more precise classification. Importers should be prepared to provide documentation demonstrating the used or rebuilt status of the equipment.
