8462.69.40.10 - Used or rebuilt

HTS Code 8462.69.40.10 specifically classifies used or rebuilt hydraulic or pneumatic metalworking presses that are numerically controlled. These machines are designed for metal forming operations such as bending, folding, straightening, flattening, shearing, punching, notching, or nibbling. The key differentiator for this sub-classification is the presence of numerical control (NC) or computer numerical control (CNC) systems, which automate and precisely direct the press's operations based on programmed instructions, allowing for complex and repeatable metal shaping.

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 8462.69.40.30 ("Other" cold metal working presses), by the explicit requirement for numerical control. While both fall under the broader umbrella of cold metal working presses, those classified under .40.10 are technologically advanced, relying on computer programming for their functionality. This is in contrast to "other" presses that might be manually operated or utilize simpler mechanical or hydraulic controls.

As a leaf node, 8462.69.40.10 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on confirming that the press in question is indeed a used or rebuilt hydraulic or pneumatic type, capable of cold metal working, and equipped with numerical control capabilities for its automated functions. This ensures that only the intended technologically advanced, pre-owned or refurbished metalworking presses are appropriately categorized for trade purposes.
