8462.61.80.90 - Other

This category encompasses hydraulic presses used for working metal that are not otherwise specified within the preceding subcategories. These presses are designed for operations such as bending, folding, straightening, flattening, shearing, punching, notching, or nibbling metal, but exclude those specifically defined as "used or rebuilt." The key criterion for classification here is the press's condition and its application in cold metal working processes where a specific operational mode or characteristic is not captured by more granular headings.

The distinction from the sibling category, 8462.61.80.30, is straightforward: this "Other" category applies to new or non-rebuilt hydraulic presses. If a hydraulic press for cold metal working is identified as "used or rebuilt," it would be classified under the sibling code, differentiating it based on its operational status and history. This ensures that the condition of the machinery is a key factor in its accurate tariff placement.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code is final for new or rebuilt hydraulic presses that meet the general criteria for cold metal working presses but do not fit into more specific, pre-defined classifications. Customs officers will rely on the general description of the machine's capabilities and its condition to assign this code.
