8463.20.00.60 - Other, valued under $3,025 each

This HTS subcategory, 8463.20.00.60, specifically covers thread rolling machines that are neither used nor rebuilt and have an individual value of less than $3,025. Thread rolling machines are designed for the metalworking industry, employing a process that forms threads on a workpiece by plastic deformation rather than by removing material, as is the case with cutting or grinding. These machines are crucial for efficient and high-volume production of fasteners and threaded components.

The distinction between this subcategory and its siblings lies primarily in the condition and value of the machine. HTS 8463.20.00.40 pertains to thread rolling machines that are specifically identified as "used or rebuilt." In contrast, 8463.20.00.80 encompasses "other" thread rolling machines that do not meet the value criterion of this specific subcategory, implying they may have a higher individual value or fall into a different classification based on other unspecified criteria.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 8463.20.00.60 is determined by the affirmative presence of the machine's function (thread rolling), its new condition, and its individual value falling below the specified threshold. Importers must ensure accurate valuation for each unit to correctly apply this classification.
