8459.29.00.10 - Used or rebuilt 🖩

This classification covers drilling machines, not falling under specific types like turret or automatic drilling machines, but are otherwise not enumerated. These machines are designed for the primary purpose of creating holes in materials through the removal of metal. The "other" designation signifies a catch-all category for drilling machines that do not fit into more specific subheadings within heading 8459. The "used or rebuilt" designation specifically applies to drilling machines in these subcategories that have undergone prior use and have been restored to a functional state.

This subheading, 8459.29.00.10, specifically applies to used or rebuilt drilling machines that are *not* otherwise classified under a more specific subheading. Its primary sibling category, 8459.29.00.20, distinguishes itself by the declared value of the drilling machine, focusing on those valued under $3,025 each. Therefore, while both fall under "Other drilling machines," this subheading is for used or rebuilt machines regardless of their individual monetary worth, as long as they are not covered by any other more specific classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. The classification is finalized at this point, with the primary determining factors for inclusion being that the machine is a drilling machine, it is not of a more specifically enumerated type, and it is in a used or rebuilt condition. When classifying, consider the original function and the nature of the work performed by the machine.
