8462.24.00.10 - Used or rebuilt

This HTS category encompasses numerically controlled panel benders designed for working flat metal products. These machines utilize automated control systems to execute precise bending operations, enabling the fabrication of complex shapes and components from sheet metal. The numerical control aspect is a key differentiator, implying sophisticated programming capabilities for intricate or high-volume production runs.

This specific classification, **8462.24.00.10**, is distinguished by its "Used or rebuilt" descriptor. This means that while the machine fulfills the technical requirements of a numerically controlled panel bender, it is not new. This designation is crucial for import duties and regulations, as used machinery often has different classification implications compared to new equipment. It is important to note that this subcategory does not include other types of bending machines, such as those that are not numerically controlled or are designed for different metal forming processes.

Since this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is determined by the machine's function as a numerically controlled panel bender and its condition as either used or rebuilt. When classifying, focus on verifying the machine's numerical control capabilities and confirming its status as not new.
