8462.26.00.50 - Other 🖩

HTS code 8462.26.00.50 classifies "Other" numerically controlled bending, folding, straightening, or flattening machines for flat metal products. This broad category encompasses machines that perform these operations and are controlled by numerical means, but do not fall under the more specific classifications of used or rebuilt machines (8462.26.00.10), or those valued under $3,025 each (8462.26.00.20).

The defining characteristic of machines within this subheading is their numerical control, which allows for precise and repeatable manipulation of flat metal sheets and plates through bending, folding, straightening, or flattening processes. These machines are distinguished from their siblings by their exclusion from the "used or rebuilt" category, indicating they are new or in factory-reconditioned condition. Furthermore, they are not subject to the lower value threshold established for the sibling category 8462.26.00.20, implying they are generally of higher value or possess more advanced capabilities not captured by that price point.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of a machine under 8462.26.00.50 will depend on its compliance with the conditions of being numerically controlled, intended for working flat metal products by bending, folding, straightening, or flattening, and its status as neither used/rebuilt nor falling under the lower value threshold specified for sibling category 8462.26.00.20.
