8462.59.00.10 - Used or rebuilt

This HTS classification, 8462.59.00.10, specifically covers machines used for working tube, pipe, hollow section, and bar that fall under the broader category of "other" machine tools for working metal by bending, folding, straightening, flattening, shearing, punching, notching, or nibbling. The key defining characteristic of this subcategory is that the machinery is either used or has been rebuilt. This designation is crucial for importers and exporters, as the condition of the machinery can impact duty rates and regulatory requirements.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS 8462.59.00.20 covers similar "other" machines for working tube, pipe, hollow section, and bar but specifically applies to those valued under $3,025 each. HTS 8462.59.00.50 is also for "other" machines in this group but does not have the "used or rebuilt" or specific value limitation. Therefore, the determining factor for classification under 8462.59.00.10 is the condition of the machine – it must be either in a used state or have undergone rebuilding.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 8462.59.00.10 is final once it is determined that the machine for working tube, pipe, hollow section, or bar meets the criteria of being used or rebuilt and does not fall under the specific value limitations or other "other" categories at the same level. Importers should carefully document the condition and any rebuilding process undertaken for customs verification.
