8463.30.00.80 - Other

This HTS code, 8463.30.00.80, falls under the broader category of "Other machine tools for working metal or cermets, without removing material," specifically focusing on "Machines for working wire." This classification encompasses a variety of specialized machinery designed for the manipulation and shaping of wire, where the material is deformed rather than cut or ground away. Examples include machines for straightening, cutting, coiling, winding, or otherwise processing wire for various industrial applications, excluding those that primarily remove material.

This specific subheading, "Other," serves as a residual category within the "Machines for working wire" group. It is distinct from its sibling categories: 8463.30.00.40, which exclusively covers used or rebuilt wire-working machines, and 8463.30.00.60, which applies to new wire-working machines valued under $3,025 each. Therefore, 8463.30.00.80 is intended for new machines for working wire that do not fall under the "used or rebuilt" criterion and are valued at $3,025 or more each.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under this code relies on the absence of specific exclusionary criteria found in its sibling subheadings, coupled with the machine's primary function of working wire without material removal and its value. Importers should ensure the machine's function aligns with wire manipulation and that its valuation meets the threshold for this "other" category.
