8463.90.00.60 - Other, valued under $3,025 each 🖩

This HTS subheading, 8463.90.00.60, encompasses "other" machine tools designed for working metal or cermets without removing material, specifically those valued under $3,025 each. This category serves as a residual classification for machines that perform operations like forming, bending, straightening, or stamping metal, but do not fit into more specific provisions. The key defining characteristics are the method of operation (non-material removing) and the individual unit value, distinguishing them from more expensive counterparts.

This category is differentiated from its sibling, 8463.90.00.40, by the condition of the machine. While 8463.90.00.40 specifically covers used or rebuilt machines, 8463.90.00.60 is intended for new machines or those not falling under the "used or rebuilt" designation. Both fall under the broader "Other" category at the 8463.90.00 level, which itself is a catch-all for machine tools that work metal or cermets without removing material and are not specifically enumerated in prior headings.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 8463.90.00.60 hinges on confirming that a machine tool for working metal or cermets without material removal does not meet the criteria for any other specific subheading and that its individual value is less than $3,025. Examples might include certain types of small presses, sheet metal benders, or straightening machines that are not otherwise specified.
