8460.19.01.05 - Used or rebuilt

This HTS category, 8460.19.01.05, specifically covers used or rebuilt flat-surface grinding machines that fall under the "Other" subheading within machines for finishing metal or cermets. These machines are designed for grinding, honing, lapping, or polishing flat surfaces of metal or cermet workpieces. The "Other" designation indicates that these machines are not specifically covered by any more granular subcategories within the flat-surface grinding machine classification.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, which is also designated as "Other" at the same level but without the "Used or rebuilt" qualifier, hinges on the condition of the machinery. This particular subcategory is exclusively for machines that have been previously utilized and have subsequently undergone rebuilding or refurbishment. It does not encompass new flat-surface grinding machines of this type.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8460.19.01.05 depends on confirming that the flat-surface grinding machine is indeed used or rebuilt and is not otherwise specifically provided for in a more detailed HTS provision. The key classification criteria remain the machine's function (flat-surface grinding), its application (metal or cermets), and its operational status (used or rebuilt).
