8459.61.00.80 - Other

HTS code 8459.61.00.80 specifically covers numerically controlled milling machines that are not classified under any other more specific subheadings within the 8459.61.00 category. This means it applies to new, or otherwise unclassified, machines designed for milling operations where the movements of the machine tool are controlled by a computer program (numerically controlled). These machines are capable of complex multi-axis movements and are utilized in various industries for precise material removal.

This "Other" subheading distinguishes itself from its sibling, 8459.61.00.40, which exclusively covers used or rebuilt numerically controlled milling machines. Therefore, the core differentiating factor lies in the condition of the machine. This subheading is intended for all other numerically controlled milling machines that do not fall under the "used or rebuilt" designation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 8459.61.00.80 relies on the machine being numerically controlled, a milling machine, and not being specified as used or rebuilt. Factors to consider for classification include the presence and functionality of a numerical control system, the primary machining operation being milling, and the absence of a "used or rebuilt" status.
