8458.19.00.10 - Used or rebuilt

This HTS category, 8458.19.00.10, specifically covers used or rebuilt horizontal lathes that are not otherwise specified in the preceding subheadings. It encompasses a broad range of horizontal lathes intended for metal removal that have undergone prior use and have subsequently been refurbished or rebuilt to operational condition. The "used or rebuilt" designation is the primary distinguishing factor here.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 8458.19.00.20, which is also for "Other" horizontal lathes but is specifically defined by a value threshold of under $3,025 each. Therefore, lathes classified under 8458.19.00.10 are not subject to this specific monetary limitation and are categorized based on their condition (used or rebuilt) rather than their market value.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions within this heading rely on accurately identifying the machine as a horizontal lathe for metal removal that is either used or has been rebuilt. Importers and exporters should ensure documentation clearly reflects the machine's operational status and any rebuilding or refurbishment processes undertaken.
