8458.19.00.20 - Other, valued under $3,025 each

This HTS category, 8458.19.00.20, encompasses horizontal lathes, not specified as used or rebuilt, that are valued at under $3,025 per unit. These machines are designed for turning operations, where material is removed from a rotating workpiece by a cutting tool to shape it. This classification applies to new horizontal lathes that do not meet the criteria for the "used or rebuilt" sibling category.

The distinction from the sibling category 8458.19.00.10 is solely based on the condition of the machinery. While both fall under "Other horizontal lathes," this specific code is designated for new equipment, whereas the other is for previously owned or refurbished units. The valuation threshold of $3,025 per unit is a critical factor for accurate classification within this sub-heading.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories branching from 8458.19.00.20. Therefore, the focus for classification under this code remains on confirming the item is a horizontal lathe, is not used or rebuilt, and its individual value falls below the specified monetary threshold.
