8462.69.80.10 - Used or rebuilt

This HTS category, 8462.69.80.10, specifically covers used or rebuilt cold metal working presses that fall under the broader classification of "Other." It applies to machines designed for working metal by bending, folding, straightening, flattening, shearing, punching, notching, or nibbling, but which do not fit into more specific subcategories due to their condition or other distinguishing features not tied to a specific value threshold. The "Used or rebuilt" designation is the primary differentiating factor, indicating that the machine has been previously in operation and has undergone refurbishment.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 8462.69.80.20, which covers "Other" cold metal working presses that are valued under $3,025 each. The key difference lies in the valuation, as 8462.69.80.10 does not impose a value limit and is exclusively for used or rebuilt machines. Another sibling, 8462.69.80.60, is also designated as "Other" but serves as a residual category for new or unspecified cold metal working presses that are not covered by other specific classifications within the 8462.69.80 grouping.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8462.69.80.10 is determined by the machine's functionality for cold metal working, its condition (used or rebuilt), and its exclusion from more specific tariff provisions based on value or other distinct characteristics. Importers and exporters should carefully consider the condition and any refurbishment history of the press to ensure accurate classification.
