8461.30.80.80 - Other 🖩

This category, HTS 8461.30.80.80, encompasses "Other" broaching machines that do not fall under the specific classifications of used or rebuilt machines, or those valued under $3,025 each. These are generally new broaching machines that meet the general description of working by removing metal or cermets, and are not elsewhere specified or included within the broader category of machine tools for planing, shaping, slotting, broaching, gear cutting, gear grinding or gear finishing, sawing, or cutting-off.

The distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. HTS 8461.30.80.20 specifically designates broaching machines that are "Used or rebuilt," implying a history of previous operation or refurbishment. Similarly, HTS 8461.30.80.40 is reserved for "Other" broaching machines where the individual unit's value is less than $3,025. This current category, 8461.30.80.80, therefore applies to new broaching machines that do not meet these specific exclusionary criteria, including those with a value of $3,025 or more.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification under 8461.30.80.80 is on identifying machines that are functionally broaching machines, are new and not rebuilt, and whose value exceeds the threshold set for the preceding sibling category. Practical classification considerations would involve verifying the machine's design and intended use for broaching operations, its condition as new, and its declared value for customs purposes.
