8460.39.00.10 - Used or rebuilt

This HTS category, 8460.39.00.10, specifically covers used or rebuilt sharpening (tool or cutter grinding) machines that are not classified under more specific provisions. These machines are designed for the mechanical sharpening or grinding of tools and cutters. The "used or rebuilt" designation is a critical factor, indicating that the machine has been previously in service and subsequently repaired or refurbished.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS 8460.39.00.20 covers "other" sharpening machines valued under $3,025 each, while HTS 8460.39.00.50 encompasses "other" sharpening machines without a specific value threshold. Therefore, the primary distinguishing factor for 8460.39.00.10 is its condition as being used or rebuilt, irrespective of its monetary value.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code hinges on the machine's prior use and subsequent refurbishment. Importers should be prepared to provide documentation or evidence to substantiate the "used or rebuilt" status of the machinery.
