Overview
HTS code 8201.30.00.80, "Other," falls within the broader category of mattocks, picks, hoes, and rakes, and their parts. This specific subheading is a residual category designed to capture any items fitting the description of mattocks, picks, hoes, or rakes that are not specifically enumerated under the preceding sibling category. Essentially, it serves as a catch-all for variations or less common designs within this group of hand tools.
To properly classify an item under 8201.30.00.80, it must be a hand tool primarily used for cultivating soil, breaking up ground, or gathering loose material, possessing characteristics aligning with the general function of a mattock, pick, hoe, or rake, but not precisely matching the definitions of mattocks and picks covered under 8201.30.00.10. This distinction is crucial, as items that are clearly identifiable as mattocks (heavy-duty tool with a pointed or flattened blade for breaking tough ground) or picks (pointed tool for breaking hard surfaces) should be classified under the sibling category.
Given that 8201.30.00.80 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under this heading therefore relies heavily on the careful interpretation of the tool's design and intended use, ensuring it fits the broad functional definition of a hoe or rake, or a variation thereof, while definitively excluding it from the more specific "mattocks and picks" classification.
