8462.62.50.30 - Used or rebuilt

This HTS classification, 8462.62.50.30, specifically designates mechanical presses for cold metal working that are either used or rebuilt. It applies to machinery and equipment intended for shaping metal without significant heat application, through mechanical force. Examples within this category include reconditioned or pre-owned mechanical presses used for stamping, punching, bending, or drawing operations on metal sheets or components. The "Used or rebuilt" designation is a crucial differentiator, distinguishing these machines from new units within the same broader mechanical press classifications.

This category is a sub-division of "Other" mechanical presses for cold metal working. Its sibling category, 8462.62.50.90, covers "Other" mechanical presses that are not specifically designated as used or rebuilt. Therefore, the primary distinction lies in the condition of the machinery. If a mechanical cold metal working press is not new and has undergone refurbishment or is in a pre-owned state, it would typically fall under this 8462.62.50.30 classification, provided it meets the other criteria for mechanical presses.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 8462.62.50.30. Classification decisions at this level will rely on accurately determining that the press is mechanical, designed for cold working of metal, and meets the criteria of being either used or rebuilt. The absence of further subdivisions means that all used or rebuilt mechanical presses for cold metal working, fitting the broader description, will be classified here, distinguishing them from their new counterparts.
