8462.90.80.20 - Other, valued under $3,025 each

This HTS category, 8462.90.80.20, encompasses "other" metalworking machinery, specifically presses, not covered by preceding subheadings within 8462.90. The key distinguishing factor for this classification is that these machines must have an individual value of less than $3,025 each. This value threshold is crucial for distinguishing these items from higher-valued machinery that might otherwise fall under similar descriptions.

This subcategory is differentiated from its sibling, 8462.90.80.10, which specifically covers used or rebuilt machinery of this type. Whereas 8462.90.80.10 focuses on the condition of the machine, this category (8462.90.80.20) is primarily defined by its economic value, irrespective of whether the machine is new or used, as long as it meets the price criterion. It also stands apart from 8462.90.80.60, which represents other "other" presses not meeting the specific value limitation of this code.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 8462.90.80.20 is therefore definitive based on the machine's function as a metalworking press (not otherwise specified in the chapter), its condition (which is not a limiting factor here, provided it's not explicitly "used or rebuilt"), and its individual value being under $3,025. Importers should ensure accurate valuation to correctly apply this classification.
