8465.94.00.05 - Used or rebuilt

This HTS category, 8465.94.00.05, specifically covers woodworking machines that are either used or have been rebuilt. This implies that the machinery is not new but has had a prior operational life and may have undergone refurbishment to restore its functionality. The scope is limited to machines designed for the manipulation and shaping of wood.

It is crucial to distinguish this subcategory from its sibling, which is also at the "Other" level but does not specify the condition of the machinery. While the sibling category would encompass new or reconditioned woodworking assembly or bending machines, this particular subcategory is exclusively for those that are explicitly designated as "used" or "rebuilt." This distinction is vital for accurate duty assessment and compliance.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into 8465.94.00.05 depends solely on the machine's purpose (woodworking bending or assembling) and its condition (used or rebuilt). Importers and exporters should ensure documentation clearly indicates the used or rebuilt status of the woodworking machinery to avoid misclassification.
