8465.92.00.62 - Valued under $1,000 each 🖩

This HTS category, 8465.92.00.62, specifically classifies woodworking shapers and profilers valued under $1,000 each. These machines are designed for the precise cutting and shaping of wood, utilizing rotating cutters to create decorative edges, grooves, and contours. They are distinct from other woodworking machinery by their specialized function of "shaping" and "profiling," which involves removing material to achieve a desired profile or form on the workpiece, rather than simply cutting or drilling.

Within the broader category of woodworking shapers and profilers, this subcategory differentiates based on a crucial economic factor: the individual unit value. Machines classified here have a value of less than $1,000 per unit. This is in contrast to the sibling category, 8465.92.00.66, which covers other woodworking shapers and profilers that do not meet this specific valuation criterion. The primary distinguishing factor between these two sibling entries is therefore solely the declared customs value of the individual machine.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to explore. Classification at this level hinges on the machine's function as a wood shaper or profiler and its individual unit value falling below the $1,000 threshold. Importers and exporters should ensure accurate valuation and confirm the machine's primary operational purpose to correctly assign goods to this specific classification.
