8462.69.80.20 - Other, valued under $3,025 each

This HTS subcategory, 8462.69.80.20, covers cold metal working presses that do not fall under the "used or rebuilt" category (8462.69.80.10) or the more general "other" category at the same level (8462.69.80.60). Specifically, these are new or reconditioned presses designed for metal deformation processes such as bending, folding, straightening, flattening, shearing, punching, notching, or nibbling, where the working of the metal occurs at or near room temperature. The defining characteristic of this classification is that the individual units have a customs value of less than $3,025 each.

The distinction from sibling category 8462.69.80.10 is straightforward: this category explicitly excludes presses that have been previously used or have undergone rebuilding. Category 8462.69.80.60 serves as a catch-all for other presses within the "other" classification that do not meet the specific value threshold of this particular subcategory.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8462.69.80.20 relies on identifying cold metal working presses that are new, not otherwise specified, and individually valued below the specified monetary threshold. The operational method, such as hydraulic, mechanical, or pneumatic actuation, is not a primary differentiator at this level, as long as the press is designed for cold metal working and meets the value requirement.
