8462.23.00.50 - Other

This category, HTS Code 8462.23.00.50, encompasses numerically controlled (NC) press brakes intended for working with flat metal products. These machines are specifically designed for operations such as bending, folding, straightening, or flattening sheet metal and plate. The "numerically controlled" aspect signifies that these machines are equipped with sophisticated control systems that utilize programmed numerical data to execute precise operations, allowing for complex shapes and consistent results.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings by specific criteria. HTS 8462.23.00.10 covers numerically controlled press brakes that are explicitly designated as "used or rebuilt," indicating their prior operational history. Similarly, HTS 8462.23.00.20 pertains to numerically controlled press brakes that are valued at less than $3,025 each. Therefore, HTS 8462.23.00.50 is for new or rebuilt numerically controlled press brakes that do not meet the specific value threshold of the .20 subheading.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within this specific HTS code. The classification is considered final at this level, meaning goods meeting the description of numerically controlled press brakes for flat products, which are not used/rebuilt and are valued at $3,025 or more, will be classified under this code. Classification decisions should consider the machine's primary function, its numerical control capabilities, and its suitability for processing flat metal products.
