8460.39.00.20 - Other, valued under $3,025 each

This HTS category, 8460.39.00.20, specifically covers sharpening (tool or cutter grinding) machines that are not otherwise classified and have a value of less than $3,025 each. These machines are designed for the precise grinding and resharpening of cutting tools and cutters, utilizing abrasive materials such as grinding stones or polishing products. Their primary function is to restore the cutting edge of tools used in various manufacturing and machining processes.

This classification is distinct from its sibling, 8460.39.00.10, which pertains to used or rebuilt sharpening machines. While both fall under the broader umbrella of "Other" sharpening machines, 8460.39.00.20 is exclusively for new machines meeting the specified value threshold. The sibling category 8460.39.00.50 also encompasses "Other" sharpening machines but would generally apply to those exceeding the $3,025 individual unit value.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 8460.39.00.20 hinges on the machine's function as a tool or cutter sharpening device, its use of abrasive finishing methods, and its individual unit value being under $3,025, ensuring it is not classified as used, rebuilt, or as a higher-value "other" sharpening machine.
