8460.40.80.10 - Used or rebuilt

This HTS classification, 8460.40.80.10, specifically pertains to "used or rebuilt" honing or lapping machines that fall under the broader category of "other" machines within the honing or lapping group. These machines are designed for finishing metal or cermets through abrasive processes and are characterized by their condition of being previously utilized or having undergone significant refurbishment. The classification emphasizes that these are not new machines.

This category distinguishes itself from its siblings by its explicit designation for used or rebuilt machinery. For instance, 8460.40.80.20 covers "other" honing or lapping machines with a value under $3,025 each, implying new or unspecified condition machines. Similarly, 8460.40.80.80 encompasses other honing or lapping machines without specific value limitations or condition requirements. The defining criterion for 8460.40.80.10 is the machine's status as either used or rebuilt.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8460.40.80.10 relies on confirming that the honing or lapping machine is not new and has either been previously in operation or has been professionally rebuilt. Practical considerations for classification would include examining maintenance records, signs of wear, or certifications of rebuilding to ascertain the machine's status.
