8462.32.50.50 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 8462.32.50.50, encompasses "Other" slitting lines and cut-to-length lines that do not fall under the preceding subcategories. These machines are designed for processing flat metal products, specifically for making precise cuts, such as dividing wider coils into narrower strips (slitting) or cutting coils to specific lengths (cut-to-length). They operate by mechanical means, employing blades or dies to achieve these cutting operations.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its residual nature. HTS Code 8462.32.50.10 specifically covers used or rebuilt slitting and cut-to-length lines. Similarly, HTS Code 8462.32.50.20 accounts for "Other" machines within this group that have a value under $3,025 each. Therefore, 8462.32.50.50 applies to new or rebuilt slitting and cut-to-length lines that are valued at $3,025 or more each and are not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification concludes at this level, meaning that any slitting line or cut-to-length line for flat products, which is not used/rebuilt and has a value of $3,025 or more, will be classified under this HTS code. The primary determining factors for classification at this level are the machine's function (slitting or cut-to-length), its application to flat metal products, its condition (new), and its value.
