8462.23.00.20 - Other, valued under $3,025 each

This HTS classification covers numerically controlled press brakes specifically designed for working flat metal products by bending, folding, straightening, or flattening. These machines utilize automated control systems, such as CNC (Computer Numerical Control), to execute precise operations, enabling high levels of accuracy and repeatability in metal fabrication. The scope includes machines where the bending, folding, straightening, or flattening actions are guided and executed by programmed numerical instructions.

Within the 8462.23.00 heading, this subcategory is distinguished by its explicit focus on numerically controlled machines. It differentiates from the sibling category 8462.23.00.10, which pertains to press brakes that are used or have been rebuilt, implying a condition rather than a specific technological feature. The other sibling, 8462.23.00.50, likely encompasses press brakes that, while performing similar functions on flat metal products, do not utilize numerical control for their operations.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The specific detail "valued under $3,025 each" acts as a crucial secondary criterion for classification within this particular sub-heading, meaning that numerically controlled press brakes meeting the functional description but falling below this monetary threshold will be classified here. This price-based division ensures that lower-value numerically controlled units are appropriately accounted for.
